5. The Dinner
SUBJECT MATTER
4. The Fault in Our Stars (kids with cancer)

SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME
1. The Shining
Turn the Page Reviews 
I really liked The Body (but like you kept thinking about the movie!) but the extended section where Gordy tells a story? I ended up skipping it!
Me too. I just love that movie!
I kept thinking of the movie too with “The Princess Bride” but I still enjoyed it. 🙂

Ha, I love your categories! I love Stephen King, but he (and his son) keep scaring me to death…
I have to read Joe Hill- can you recommend a good one?
I think NOS4A2 is the best so far (super, super scary) — and if you like graphic novels, his Locke & Key series is amazing.
Thanks- might be looking for something mildly scary though!
Big yes to The Princess Bride! As I read the book, I felt like I was watching a much duller version of the movie where I didn’t like any of the characters as much. (That’s still true. Sorry, book version.)
