Silver's 75 Books for 2017
Mod
I loved the movie. The book is an interesting tale. I have to love Gaiman's imginataion. It is kind of like a dark twisted Alice in Wonderland.
I would like to read more of her but there were some issues I had with this book, but I still thought there was some lovely writing.

Have you read Cloud Atlas? It's so confusing I'm afraid to read more of his books. But I do have Slade House and The Bone Clocks.

I have read Cloud Atlas, I actually loved that one.
In my opinion while Slade House is different it is not as confusing as Cloud Atlas.
I haven't read the Bone Clocks yet but I would like to. From what I have heard there is some connection between Bone Clocks and Slade House.

I love him but I don' t know if this is the best book to start him on. Fight Club is actually really good. Lullaby I thought was amazing.

I will have to keep an eye out for that. I will be interested to see how they make it. I imagine some cool visuals

Yes it comes out in March! I'm excited/apprehensive because I loved the book!

Have you seen the movie? So creepy!

I did and I actually thought the movie was better than the book.
Mod
I really want to read this before I see the movie!

I tried reading this and I couldn't for the life of me get into it.

I had mixd feelings about this one from the beginning. I can see were it could be difficult to get into but toward the end I have to say I was really sold. Though I think it still had some flaws.
Mod
I enjoyed A Dog's Purpose and plan on getting to all of his other books!
