Free Post: Reading Post

  For my free post this week I am just going to do another reading post. So, What the Night Knows by Dean Koontz is starting to get very interesting. Just to let you know, the Calvino family consists of a mom, dad, two daughters and a son. All of them have had different supernatural experiences but keep them to themselves. It is kind of like the parallel plot structure because I know that later in the book this "ghost" is going to attack them all at one time causing the plots to collide.
      I have to admit I never took this book for a fantasy horror story. To be honest,  I would rather the whole fantasy genre when it come to horror stories. I hate it when I am watching a movie and it is too similar to real life and I am freaked out for months on end. Anyway, what makes me so angry is that the whole Calvino family is keeping the crazy things that are happening to them to themselves because they are trying to protect each other or they think they are crazy. I sit reading these scary parts and my heart is pounding, what they don't realize is that the ghost doesn't want them to let the rest of the family know what is happening to each individual because that would ruin his plan. This book is full of dramatic irony and it makes me want to scream at the characters in the book and tell them exactly what to do. I also may have read the last page of the book, I couldn't help it! The suspension was too much, I just had to make sure the whole family lives which *spoiler alert* they do.
