Stephen King does it again. Totally freaked me out but I couldn't put it down! He can take normal, everyday items and twist them into a nightmare. You'll never look at your cell phone the same way again. Great book!

Stephen King at his best! Four excellent short stories with a "real world" background that makes them even scarier. A little different in some ways than his other work but still classic King entertainment.

Loved the story although it did take effort to keep up with all the names. Fortunately, there's a family tree that helps to keep the names and relationships straight. I'm looking forward to reading the next two books.


Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

Love, love, love this book. After I read it, I handed it to my husband and he read it in a single sitting one afternoon. Then, I loaned it to a neighbor who also loved it and she is passing it around to several of HER friends! As soon as I get it back, I plan to share with as many friends as possible. It's too amazing NOT to share!

This book was interesting enough to keep me reading but still somewhat of a letdown.

I have to admit that I was surpised that I really, really enjoyed this book. I'm a big Nicholas Sparks fan but didn't really think a teenage love story would appeal to someone over 50. Of course there's also more going on than just the love story but I enjoyed the entire book and storyline.

Loved this book! Great characters and storyline. Didn't take long for this book to get its "hooks" into me and make it impossible for me to put it down.

The first 50 pages or so were hard to dig through but after that I was hooked and found the book very interesting. Very detailed descriptions that slowed the story down a little too much for me but still a good read.

The story takes place during the time that my grandmother would have been growing up. Very interesting story about the strong faith of a woman growing up in a very difficult time period.

Trespassed Hearts had a slow start and I actually was about to give up on it when it suddenly caught my interest. It's an easy read and has some interesting subplots that keep you involved. Not a nail-biting page turner but definitely worth your time.

Great story----a constant roller coaster of twists and turns to keep you trying to guess what's really going on. Can't wait to read another book by Tom Pawlik!
