You might try Locke & Key, his graphic novel series. I like it a lot better than any of his novels, although I've heard the short story collection is also really good.

I don't know, I can't think of anything more terrifying than that one-way glass review and seeing LIFE SIZED LIL POUNDCAKE staring back at you.

I actually feel like maybe it was the opposite? I totally agree that Princess Di was a fix (and that's why they put her in the bottom with Ginj, who was way better in the lip synch than, say, Roxxxy), and feel the same about this week's ep with the bottom three, but what I really think is going on is that they…

Like a lot of people, Tommyknockers put me off King for a while, but not for quite the same reason. I read it at the end of a King binge when I was ~18, and it turns out I was coming down with the flu. I got to the part where Gardner starts exploring the empty UFO with the alien corpses in it, and then I had just THE…

It does now! Mary Failin' did ONE THING RIGHT.

I feel like Dracula gets a bad rap because most people know the most sensationalized bits of the story already, so it's kind of slow going to get all the bits around it. (Same goes for Frankenstein, which isn't at all the book everyone thinks they'll be reading.)

Hexwood's definitely one I appreciate more as an adult. It was a little too much for me when I was younger, but the plot and time and allusions just unspool beautifully.

Ooooof, LOVE DWJ. Have read every single things she's written. Cannot recommend enough Dogsbody, Dark Lord of Derkholm, and all the Chrestomancis. Also Fire & Hemlock, although I think you maybe have to be a kid when you read that one to truly love it.

Howl's Moving Castle is great, and shares only the barest outline of a story with the movie.

Definitely recommend Brent Weeks' Lightbringer series. The Black Prism (book 1) is good, and books 2 & 3 are even better.

I thought it was actually literally if you prefer the top bunk or the bottom bunk. Maybe I'm just naive.

Even ANTM managed both of those (granted, it was in earlier seasons before ANTM was such a shambling zombie of a show)

Not @cinecraft:disqus, but I had a fair obsession with the Titanic when I was about 12 (pre-movie, fwiw). IRC, I believe the best course would have been to keep going straight. The ship would still have hit the 'berg, I don't think anything could have saved it, but it would have either sunk more slowly, allowing the…

I actually really liked "You don't belong here." It's a creepy phrase, and it's also organic enough that it gave me a chill when people said it in a normal situation (at the rally).

Seems like since they dispensed with all the book's pre-Dallas trips (eliminating Carolyn Poulin entirely), but still wanted the Harry Dunning story, putting him in KY allows Jake to save Harry without getting too far from Dallas. I was initially put off, but I think it makes sense.

Technically, only the first book of Song of the Lioness has characters 11-14. The second book is 14-18, the third she's 19, and in the fourth she's 20 (ish). The other series mostly have protagonists 15-20, except for Protector of the Small, which is about the same age range as SotL.

BECAUSE DENNIS IS A BASTARD MAN!

Seems like an overreaction, but the books you list are good ones. But Hunger Games was written by Suzanne Collins, not Susan Cooper. Cooper wrote The Dark is Rising (also great books).

Haha, yes exactly. Listen to what I mean, not what I type.

It's terribly overwritten, for one thing.
