Buddy Read- Horns (SP through first section)

I don't know if it's just me but I can't picture Daniel Radcliffe playing Ig.  Maybe I'll change my mind as I go further into the book but for right now I just don't see it. 

Thoughts:

- I can't help but feel badly for Ig.  The world would be a lonely place to begin with when people think you're a murderer but to hear their thoughts? Eek!
- I love hearing every character's confession. The police officers cracked me up.

I'm excited to see where this book goes because I love Joe Hill.  I hope to have it finished by Sunday :)

  • I really loved this book.  People's confessions were hysterical. I loved that they confess without any thought of social niceties.  They're so honest.

    This.  I was literally laughing out loud at some of the stuff near the beginning.  Especially the doctor.

    I think Daniel Radcliffe is a perfect Ig!  Enjoy the rest of the book!
  • @Hoycie I am having trouble seeing Daniel Radcliffe as Ig too! 

    I feel badly for Ig too and was pretty relieved when his brother confessed to him. The other confessions were hilarious and I wasn't expecting what his brother said at all. I keep wondering what he is going to do with that information.

    Although, I have to say that the scene where Glenna was shoving the doughnut in her mouth made me want to gag lol.

    I have never read Joe Hill before so I'm pretty excited that I like this book so far. New authors are fun.

  • So wait, the movie wasn't released yet, right? IMDB says 2013, but I think that was for the Toronto Film Festival.  It doesn't show a US release date.  Does anyone know when that's supposed to be?

  • @hoycie I picture Ig to look exactly like Joe Hill and seeing Daniel Radcliffe kind of looks like a baby Joe Hill, I can totally picture Daniel Radcliffe as Ig.
    90 books in 2015?

  • Last I heard- they have yet to get a large company to hop on and back the film- hence no US release date.

    PLEASE someone snatch this up!!!

  • Oh damn. I thought it was a done deal for the movie to be released in the US.  @myJunegirls should tweet Joe Hill (since she's in with the fam) and find out any secret details. :)

    Wouldn't that be great? But maybe I will tweet him to see if he knows anything?
