CUJOOOO

On my way to Vegas, I decided to read the book Cujo, and it was interesting.
In the beginning of the book, there was a man, and he decided to kill his family. Then, years later, this little boy and his family move into the house. And one night, the little boy sees something in his closet, the "monster", starts growling at him. The boy, Ted, sits in his bed looking at the thing, he sees the eyes and everything that is there, his face, and his head, and the shape of the monsters body. He starts to scream a terrible scream, and when he does, his parents come rushing in, turn on the lights, and the monster is gone.
What the boy was "seeing" was a pile of things that looked like a monster, so his parents take it down, and close the closet doors and leave the boy alone. So he lays there for a moment, and hours seem to pass, but when he can't sleep, he looks back at the closet, to see the door start to open, and a voice starts talking to Ted, telling him that he is the man that killed himself, and that he is going to get Ted too, because he wants to kill Ted. He also says how Ted can't escape him because either way, the monster is going to kill Ted.
Legitly Ted is once again scared, which is the point in which i stopped reading, but from what I got, the first chapter is going to introduce Ted and his family, the monster, and the dog, who later becomes rabid.
good book.

Duddits's story

In chapter 6, we learn more about Duddits, and how the boys come to meet him. They were going to check out a picture of the Homecoming queen, when they hear screams coming from the baseball diamond a few feet away. They all run over there to see this boy, Duddits, and three bigger kids beating him up. When the find him, he's half naked and bleeding and covered in dirt and the bigger kids are trying to get him to eat dog sh!t.
The story goes that they see the Homecoming king, Richie, and Henry decides he's going to threaten to tell the whole town of this bullying. Like anybody would, Richie threatens the boys, but then Pete chimes in. He talks about how fast he can run and tell his mom who is bullying, where, and to have the police come, because he can do it and nobody would be able to catch him.
So Richie backs off a bit, telling them that it's "not worth his time" and that "he doesn't need to waste time on someone who's not worth it" and blah blah blah, mainly just talk.
 So the boys meet Duddits half naked, bleeding and crying, and that's how it all starts. Odd way to start a friendship if you ask me

In this picture, you see Duddits, played by Donnie Wahlberg.

Week 1: day 7

We're switching it up a bit, going with The Lovely Bones. I started re-reading it yesterday and got done with chapter 1.
In the first chapter we meet Susie, she is the girl who gets killed. She introduces us to her life, her family, and her killer. She died on December 6, 1973. She's walking through a corn field on the way home from school, when she comes across this man, Mr. Harvey. Susie knows him because he lives right down the street from her, and her family buys flowers from him. So anyways, he basically says "hey susie, come into my hole," and she does. And it's sad to see what happens, he rapes and kills her... in the first chapter.
And it's terrible. The family is waiting for her to come home, and she never came home..

Takin a break

Right now I'm reading  Shutter Island  by Dennis LeHane, I started reading it last year after the movie came out, but I found it in my locker, and my other book wasn't there so I decided to read this instead.
Right now, I'm at the part where he's trying to escape the island. Him and his partner are trying to find files of this guy that Teddy is convinced killed his wife. So that's what's going on. It's moving pretty slow right now but i'm sure it'll pick up. But now I'm putting that one away because I'm dumb and forgot that The Lovely Bones  is in my backpack right now....

There's the movie poster:

Week 1:day 5

chapter 6: Duddits part two:
Henry is back in this chapter, we are following him going back to the Hole in the wall to get the sled to bring Becky and Pete back to the cabin. He is running in the snow, about 9 miles away from where he needs to be, when he starts thinking about what type of disease Becky might have anyways. He thinks that it could be a cancer due to the smell, that it could be an auto-consuming virus. He also thinks about himself a little bit, we find that Henry is addicted to pills, but he denies it. He, for just a second, compares himself to Pete, who we know to be an alcholic. He only compares himself because Pete can go treat himself, but Henry doesn't want to be helped.
We also find out that Henry is feeling the effects that Pete was feeling, he comes across Becky's name in his head, and he's not sure where it comes from or who it is/connects to. Henry also comes across the name Marcy, in context of, "Please stop, I can't stand it, give me a shot, where's Marcy?" He hears like a conversation, in the woods between Pete and Jonsey and how Becky and McCarthy are talking, but Henry  doesn't know who McCarthy is yet.
Then he thinks about Becky screaming at the sky about the aliens being here, and that's basically where i'm at right now.

Week 1: Day 1

Chapter 5. Duddits part 1.
In this chapter you come across Duddits, a mentally challenged kid that the boys become friends with. They also find themselves looking back on their days in middle school, 8th-9th grade and how things were the first time they went up to the Hole in the Wall (their hunting cabin).

Henry and Pete almost hit a girl, who we later find out is named Becky. Henry and Pete decide that they're going to find something, to drag Becky, who won't say one word to them, to one of the warming sheds they know is up ahead. So they do, while Henry leaves Pete and Becky back in the shed, to go get a snow mobile to bring them to the cabin.

Pete, an alcholic, decides he's going to return to scout, their car, for beer. He leaves Becky and a fire at the shed. His knee was hurt in the accident so it takes him a while to get back to scout. When he does, he gets his beer and leaves. He later, on his way back, stops, hearing a humming noise. He looks up and sees the lights in the sky that Becky and McCarthy have been talking about. He comes up with a name in his head, Marcy.Pete isn't sure who Marcy is, but he knows that it's a name he should keep track of, this is when he realizes that the woman at the shed's name is Becky.

So as of now, we know a few things. McCarthy and Becky were right about the lights. Henry and Pete have seen them, and they susspect that it's making the animals migrate. Pete is an alcholic, and that the name Marcy is slightly important but we're not sure why yet.

This is a picture of Northern Maine, the setting of the book. I'm trying to make the picture in my head, and I thought I'd share.

The first book I'll be reading is Dreamcatcher. I've already started it and it's getting somewhere I guess. It's about these four guys, Beav, Jonesy, Henry, and Pete, take their annual hunting trip to northern Maine. While there, a huge storm hits their cabin, and they discover two people. One man, who encounters Jonesy in the woods, who he thinks is sick, but is clearly nuts. And a girl that Henry and Pete almost hit with their car.

But that's about as far as I am right now. We learn a little about the guys in the beginning of the book, their lives and relationships and careers. But it's going good so far!

The second book I'm reading is going to be the Lovely Bones. I've read it before but I absolutely love this book It might seem a tad bit creepy that I love this book but I can't put it down! The book was about a girl that gets raped and murdered and the rest is following her family trying to solve her murder. The creepiest part is that the murderer, lives right down the street. The parents even talk to him, and it's so sad to see that they don't know.

But I hate the movie. They did a terrible job in potraying the book in the movie, even thought it still brought through all the emotion in the book, and yes, I did cry, but the movie left out a lot of important parts from the book.
