Has anyone read Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill? Supposedly, Joe Hill is Stephen King's son? I read a few pages of the first chapter on amazon.com and it sounds like it would be a good read. Anybody have any thoughts on it?

Yep, I've read it. Shows that he has quite a bit of potential as a writer; there's an interesting lead character, and Hill (who is King's son) develops him fairly well. There are a few genuinely creepy moments. But it isn't all that original, was pretty predictable off and on, and there were a couple of moments here and there where I just almost rolled my eyes.....lol.....
Overall, its entertaining, and worth reading.
