Excellent reading week! And I agree with you on Harry's trauma. Eventually I will get this from the library to read.

I already felt for him, and reading his story in his words made me feel for him even more.

Agreed. He and William were both so young when their mother died. It's hard on a kid. :/

I've thought about picking up Spare. after your excellent review, I just might. :-)

The only thing I've read by Straub is The Talisman, the book he wrote with Stephen King. I really enjoyed it, and have always wanted to read the sequel. Or maybe something else by him.

I definitely recommend it. It felt very honest to me. He doesn't shy away from things.

I looooved The Talisman. Very much disliked the sequel. I haven't read a ton of Straub but the one that stood out and that I read more than once back in the day was Ghost Story, which was very weird and also dealt with a mix of the paranormal and the 'real world'.
