Picking it where the first book left off in terms of writing style and the lightness of the story despite some heavy themes, this is an amazing sequel and worthy of the connection. Gwendy's Button Box was my favorite book read so far this year, and this followup is very close to the top as well. I'm looking forward to reading more books from Mister Chizmar!
When I originally read Gwendy’s Button Box I instantly fell in love with the story and when it was over I was left desperately wishing for more. Fast forward to now and that wish has come true and I couldn’t be happier! I absolutely freaking loved being back with Gwendy and I thought Chizmar did such a fabulous job portraying her as an adult. I really loved where he brought the story and I was disappointed it was so short, I still want more Gwendy! I’ve fallen hopelessly in love with her and I’d...
Years have passed, and Gwendy's a successfully published writer, documentary maker, campaigner... and Congresswoman! But as she heads back to Castle Rock for Christmas the world is on the brink with a foul mouthed dumb President, her photojournalist husband is working in a dangerous Timor, her mother is fighting a critical illness and someone might be killing girls in the Rock! So the best, but also worse thing that could happen to her is the return of a certain Button Box!Chizmar picks up the r...
I quite liked Gwendy's Button Box, the first book in series by Richard Chizmar playing in the Castle Rock playground created by Stephen King. This, however, was a snooze fest. There was no sense of urgency about any element to the story; be it a group of missing girls, Gwendy's mother's health, or the consumption of treats from the mysterious button box and presumed ill-fated ramifications resulting from said consumption. The best way for me to describe this book is 'flat'. The writing is ok, th...
What was the purpose of this book? Seriously? I was happy to return to Castle Rock, but there was no point to this book at all. Adult Gwendy seems so much less than the teenage version we got. And the direction her life took didn't even make a lot of sense. So in "Gwendy's Magic Feather" we follow 30 something year old Gwendy. Her life has taken a lot of twists since she was gifted the Button Box. One day though the Button Box reappears, and Gwendy doesn't know what it means, or for long she is
My only complaint is that I wish these were a little longer.
The question that had bloomed in her mind while sitting on the bench that long ago summer day resurfaced—and rather rudely—earlier this morning as Gwendy was busy cushioning the button box in her carry-on bag with rolled up wads of socks and sweaters: How much of her life is her own doing, and how much the doing of the box with its treats and buttons?I really enjoyed Gwendy’s Button Box, co-written by Stephen King. Gwendy was a really believable, interesting character, dropped into a story remi...
Life is full of surprises-and not all of them good.We return to Castle Rock, to a 37 year old Gwendy and the mysterious button box. Years have passed since a stranger gave her the box. She was promised she would never need the box again, but now it has returned. But why?Is it possible the return of the button box is related to the 2 missing girls' case? If so, what is Gwendy supposed to do and what is it going to cost her?
A quick, easy read, I enjoyed visiting with Gwendy again, it felt kind of intimate, like spending time with someone I like. Also I have an unhealthy fascination with that button box and the mysterious Richard Farris. The illustrations were a nice touch too.
