And this guy said ‘Ah, the new one’s pretty good.’ “And I became aware that there are people out there in the film business who have read not just one script for Heart-Shaped Box, but three or four.

“I was out in Hollywood a year ago and I was talking with someone and he said ‘What did you think of the latest version of the Heart-Shaped Box script?’ And I said ‘I’ve never seen a Heart-Shaped Box script.’ I’ve heard that there are such things but I’ve never been allowed to read one. His body itself is as big as his larger-than-life stage presence.” As for the film actually happening, Hill revealed that Warner Bros still own the rights, but he’s yet to see a script. “And Russell Crowe is big – he has a kind of physical immensity to him which is sort of interesting because I always saw Jude as a big man. And I think that he can play anger well – he can rage with the best of them – and Jude is a very angry man. “But I do think that Russell Crowe knows how to hold a guitar. “I try not to say this person or that person should play the part, because until there is a movie, I want the reader to have the freedom to cast the movie in their own mind” he explained. Overall I’d give this a 4/5 stars.The book revolves around rock star Judas Coyne, who becomes haunted by ghosts from his past when he buys a dead man’s suit, and Hill believes the Gladiator star would be perfect in the role. Finally, I really enjoyed how quick paced this book was and how it kept you on your toes almost the entire time. I also loved how fleshed out the characters were! Like there was actual character development which is somewhat rare to see in horror. First, there were a few scenes in this book that actually scared me! This is very rare for me to feel, and to be honest, I haven’t felt this in literature since reading the shining almost a year ago. But I will say that while I acknowledge that they both are separate people, a few of the scares from this book felt very IT-like.

Finally, and I know I may get hate for this because people hate comparing him to Stephen king because he’s his son and so on. I was a little bit disappointed that the suspense wasn’t built up better. Firstly, I found that closer to the end the book got a lot less scary, but that’s okay. I will say a few negatives before though.

So I was recommended this book a few days ago on this thread and expected to really not like this book but was greatly surprised.
