This is a very good adaptation/abridgement. The main feel and sound of the original is kept intact.

Bag of Bones
Bag of Bones
Author: Stephen King
Book Type: Paperback
Rating:

A classic ghost story and haunting with the Stephen King twist. Bag of Bones is a bit slow on the upstart, but once the story gets to rolling you will not be able to put this book down. King weaves in the characters like no other author.

Although this, the DC version of the Spawn Batman team-up, is not as good as the Image version. It is two great dark heroes teaming up for the same just cause. Artwork is classic.

Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades : A Biography
Author: Clinton Heylin
Book Type: Hardcover
Rating:

This book covers the life of Dylan as linked to his recordings. The author seems to have covered the in depth feel/mood of Dylan as each album brought a new cornerstone in his life. You will find yourself digging out all the albums just to hear the recordings as they are discussed.

Darkness Falls
Darkness Falls

Book Type: Hardcover

Throughout the reading of this book, I "became aware" of how much I and society depend on oil, and even found myself checking gas prices. In the book they go up to $12US / gallon and after reading several chapters I would have to verify that gas was still Under $5US. Whew, talk about getting lost in a story, this book will definitely do suck you in.

At last 2 great Gonzo Books in one. Get ready for a great trip through the late 60s and the early 70s with Fear & Loathing...then time warp with Hunter to the 80s. Hunter S. Thompson and his Gonzo Journalism summarize the political arenas of these 3 decades.
