The Dead Zone (Television Series)

I had no intention of watching this entire series since it was on for six seasons. Then, I thought I would watch a couple episodes to see if it was interesting at all. Next thing I knew, it was my background television for a few weeks....

The Dead Zone (1983 Movie)

Even though this movie had the same major plot points as the book, it felt really disjointed going from one storyline to another....

The Dead Zone (Book)

There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed and other parts that I feel that if I had read this earlier in my life, I might have been bored with, but due to the time I read it, I was hooked....

The Long Walk

After reading four Bachman stories (Rage, The Running Man, Roadwork), this one is my favorite. It is so dreary with no hope, and yet, I really enjoyed it....

Beartown

Have you ever cried while reading a book in public? This almost happened to me while reading Beartown. I should have known better. At a certain point while reading another book by Fredrik Backman (My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry), I started crying and didn’t stop until...
