Incurable Bookworm: Black House



I don't know what to say about this book other than it was awesome. It was a page-turner if I've ever read one. Once I got somewhere around the middle of the book ~ when the all the characters were developed and I quit confusing them ~ I couldn't stop reading it.

I loved Jack Sawyer from The Talisman which I read eons ago and will definitely have to read again. I fell in love with Henry ~ He reminded me of an awesomely cool Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby. I don't know if that was the intended idea for Henry but I couldn't help but think of him that way.

The connection to The Dark Tower was obvious. And there was a little spot where they could have run into The Little Sisters of Eluria from Everything's Eventual but they didn't.

I'm going to re-read The Talisman again and then move on to The Dark Tower Series. Black House is definitely not a rehash of The Talisman just to let you know. It's different. And it's worth the read but if you haven't read The Talisman ~ you might want to start there. You won't be disappointed in either one.
