The Society for the Care for the Blind in Laski
description of organisation
The Association for Care over the Blind is a catholic organisation of public benefit, founded in the 1911. The Association established a kindergarten and a boarding school, which are run by Franziscan Order, Sisters Servants of Cross. The Association works at helping about 300 blind and visually impaired children from all Poland adapt them to independent lives. Almost half of these children also suffer additional serious health problems. Children begin their education already in the kindergarten, then they attend primary school (7-12 years) and secondary school (13-16 years). Further education is lead in post-gymnasium technical schools. There is also a musical school in Laski. There are numerous types of rehabilitation organised for children in Laski, including: movement rehabilitation, the rehabilitation of sight (for children with seeing difficulties), improvement of touch, spatial orientation learning, hypotherapy and therapeutic horse-ridding, and music-therapy. High-class specialists decide on which sort of rehabilitation is appropriate for each particular pupil. After finishing the education provided in the institution, young graduates continue their education in regular educational institutions and/or look for work.
motivation and evs experience
The Society for the Care for the Blind in Laski has already hosted several EVS volunteers. The cooperation with volunteers has always been fruitfull and has had a positive influence on the children and staff members. Therefore we are still motivated to host EVS volunteers.
Firstly, we would like to guarantee the children better conditions in the institution. We have observed the positive effect of the cooperation with volunteers on our work and the functioning of our pupils. It is very important for children not to feel inferior and excluded. The contact with new people, especially with youth, helps them. They see that someone cares about them, prepares some exercises, tasks and events as well as has an individual contact with them, also during conversation lessons. The volunteers contribute to our work with their ideas, personalities, skills and abilities. They are extremely helpful in looking after blind or suffering from poor eyesight children and teenagers, offering them their attention, care, friendship, sense of security and self-respect. As a result, a sense of security and support are provided for them. Secondly, we hope that the volunteers could help us in enriching the range of proposed activities for the children. It would be nice, if the volunteers were "fresh blood" with plenty of new ideas how the time spent in the boarding houses for the boys and the girls (in groups with younger children) can be organized. The volunteers will have opportunities to develop their own projects and initiatives. On the other hand, we don't want to forget about volunteers' needs and expectations. We hope that they will learn a lot during their EVS project in our institution. They will have an opportunity to learn a new culture and language. Undoubtedly, a contact with disabled children will teach them responsibility, emphaty as well as communication and organizational skills.
project environment
A. Project environment:
Laski is a small town at the edge of Kampinos Forest, not far from Warsaw. There is a city bus that connects Laski with the underground line, which makes it accessible for volunteers to visit the city often. On the other hand, there is only one bus line (running approximately every 20 minutes) and one night bus that connect the town with the capitol. It takes around 45-60 min to get to the centre of Warsaw. The Institution is located in the middle of fields and forest so contact with nature is guaranted. In winter time this same fact might turn out to be difficult to endure for young volunteers, since there are no entertainment facilities in Laski itself and when "going out" means about an hour bus+metro ride. Of course, Warsaw is a capitol city and thus compatible with other European metropolia. Cultural, touristic and entertaining facilities are easily accessible.
Laski Institution is an educational complex consisting of nursery, school, boarding school, music school and library. About 300 youngsters, often from families in difficult situation, are taken care of by laymen, nuns, blind workers and volunteers. The staff offers their protegees therapeutical and medical help, opportunities to acquire useful skills, try to prepare them for independent adult life and helps to develop their creativity. We pay special attention the policies of integratiing the disabled into society. This aim is constantly perceived by encouraging contacts with peers in other educational institutions and via participation in various cultural events. Unfortunately Laski in an institution and therefore separated from the rest of the community to some extent as well.
There are also number of Polish and foreign volunteers working in Laski Institution, so the EVS volunteers will have a chance to cooperate with them.
The volunteers choosing to come to work to Institution for the Blind in Laski should take into account that the place is held by Franciscan Nunnery. The nuns are very nice and open, nevertheless, the volunteers should respect the existing rules and solitude in their host organization. As the volunteers would be living in a dormitory for staff located in the territory of the Institution, they should take into account that from 23.30 (the time of arrival of the last bus from Warsaw) until 4.00 the gate is closed.
B. Proposed activities for EVS volunteers:
Each volunteer will work in one of the groups in dormitory. There are from 5 to 10 children in each group and the volunteers will help the educator responsible for them with their daily tasks. They will help them getting ready for school in the morning, help them with homework in foreign language class or helping the educators leading the children to different leisure time activities in the afternoon. There is more to do in the afternoon than mornings, which children usually spend in school. Since children live there, they also learn how to take care of themselves, which basically means that volunteers might also help (especially younger children) to go to the bathroom, get dressed or change clothes and such.
Volunteers' commitment provides an invaluable help to our everyday work and activities. Volunteers act as additional assistants, supporting our regular staff members in the groups of younger children (aged 8 – 13) at the boarding houses. Already from the age of three children in Laski learn to be independent. This is one of the basic roles of the education at the boarding houses that exists within the institute. Children with different social background go to the boarding houses. Very often their families are overprotective, which prevents the children from learning to become independent. Sometimes parents don't know how to take proper care of children with impaired eyesight and hinder their development. The pedagogue's task is to take the children out of the tight circle of familiar people and things and show them the unknown world, help them adapt to living in a group and teach them basic skills, such as washing and getting dressed, tying their shoes, and so on. The volunteers are extremely helpful in caring for blind or poor-sighted children and teenagers, giving them their attention, care, friendship, sense of security and self-respect. What more, it broadens our proteges' experience and gives a chance to spend time with people who, at the beginning, are complete strangers coming from a different country, different culture, speaking different language and having different believes. Through volunteers our kids realise that even a stranger may become their friend and give them help and support.
The second task of the volunteers (up to half of their work time) can include (depending on the level of their foreign language skills) conversations in English or German with students of the secondary school (aged about 16 – 20 years). The conversations will be conducted under the supervision of the language teachers, who will suggest themes and provide didactic materials, but also involve new ideas of the volunteers, e.g. the presentations their home countries, etc. These lessons can gain an especially strong motivating character. By practising foreign languages in a more natural way of real communication and in a more relaxed atmosphere, in a form of role-playing (drama pedagogic) or interactive language games, we can achieve a lot. Lessons could also include discussions about short written texts like poems, newspaper articles,songs etc. A good and friendly relationship with the volunteers could encourage shy students to communicate.
Other volunteers' tasks that are directly related to those of the Institute are the following:
- cooperation in managing musical, artistic and sport activities in children's free time, encouraging them to active participation;
- helping children in doing their homework and during individual trainings,
- helping to prepare meetings with youth, specialists, tutors, and representatives of partner organisations from various countries, working for establishing new contacts.
By living and working in Poland foreigners gain new insights into the social problems of Poles. They learn about life in Poland and thus, learn the value of Polish culture and get to understand Polish mentality. Working with a group of tutors, therapists and Polish volunteers, foreign volunteers learn how working with youth looks in such institutions in Poland. By taking part in holiday camps and international meetings, they acquire both pedagogical and managerial abilities. All volunteers participate in a Polish language courses as a part of their preparations in order to be able to create a good verbal contact with the children.
Since Laski work with blind and visually impaired children, the volunteers have a chance to learn how to work with this target group. They will see special trainings (e.g. how to walk with a cane, how to assist a blind person, etc.), observe specailist care for children with poor eye-sight and learn how they teach the children and youngsters to take care of themselves and become independent.
C. Volunteer profiles and recruitment process:
The target group is quite demanding, therefore we are looking for a patient and persistent persons who enjoy challenges and feel motivated to work exactly with blind chindren and youth. The volunteers should have a team spirit but also could be able to work independently. For the benefit and safety of the blind children there is a clear hierarchical personal structure of responsibilities in the boarding houses and schools, where the volunteer has to "fit in" with his own high consciousness of reliance and responsibility by fullfilling the tasks of his "superiors", but also he also by giving inspiration to others. Bearing in mind the target group, to avoid possible misunderstandings it would be good, if the volunteers have at least basic understanding and sensitivity about the issues related to work with visually impaired youth or with some experience already with the individual or group work with (healthy) children or youth.
During the recruitment process we are open to all candidates, no matter their national, social, economical or religious background. It is important that interested volunteers be aware about the fact that the institution is run by the Franciscan Order of Nuns and existing rules in the host organization. Respect for roman-catholic values and practices is expected from future volunteers.Christian education here means the respect of each human being and his freedom, sensitivity for the mystery of suffering, respect for nature, care about finding out the best way of development of all talents of our disabled students and about accompanying them on their way to a possibly most independent life.
Due to children's need for conversation in different languages, volunteers' motivation to prepare conversations or basic language lessons will be an asset. At the same time, this is not the only criteria. General motivation and engagement of volunteers are just as important in the selection process.
We expect candidates to send us their CV and motivation letter.
D. Number of volunteers hosted: 4
E. Risk prevention, protection and safety:
The volunteers will always be able to count on support from specialists, the staff and other volunteers. They will be acquainted with the work safety and hygiene as well as the rules and methods how to work with blind and disabled children. They will have a chance to participate in short trainings organized for the staff and learn more about the techniques used in working with blind and visually impaired youth.
Volunteers will get a mentor from outside the Institution and will have regular contact and meetings with project coordinators in coordinating organization. Since the Polish Robert Schuman Foundation coordinates activities of around ten EVS volunteers in Warsaw, volunteers working in Laski will have a chance to integrate with them. They will have language lessons together and will also participate in other activities organized by the CO. By organizing a group of volunteers and developing their common activities an additional social network is created for volunteers from Laski to be able to count on as well.
Because of the specific and difficult profile of the hosting placement we cannot host volunteers under 18 years of age.
inclusion topics
This organisation is willing to involve volunteers who face situations which make their participation in activities more difficult, from the following categories for different types of project:
- Educational difficulties
- Social obstacles
- Cultural differences

By doing some quick math, it becomes clear that by speaking just one language, organizations are only reaching about a quarter of online users. To expand reach and engage with a wider audience, global businesses must adopt multilingual communications. Otherwise, they risk abandoning potential customers who will instead turn to competitors who communicate with them on a local level.
Jaka Lindic
May 14, 2009
Today, even the most resistant old-school publishers know that they need to develop an effective online strategy. According to a Pew Internet & American Life Project study, one of the tipping points occurred last year: More people in the U.S. got their news online for free than paid for it by buying newspapers and magazines. Additionally, there are trends we have seen over the past few years now. Publishers are starting to learn about the differences between the online and offline worlds. They open their media to more authors (for example, what Harvard Business Review is doing with HarvardBusiness.org Voices). They are trying to compete by increasing the amount of free, legally accessible, high-quality content. Hulu, a joint venture between NBC Universal, Inc. and News Corp., offers licensed shows—sometimes in HD—for free. Even for amateurs, the creation and publication of content is becoming routine, as production tools and platforms improve in quality and ease of use. Also, new types of content—such as "what am I doing right now" activity streams—continue to crop up.
However, the other side of this proliferation of new and old media online is that reader attention span is limited. There is an abundance of content that is fragmented all over the internet, and the biggest problem users face today is how to discover relevant, quality content.
To meet this need, online media must contend with the issues of offering more content while reducing production costs and making content more discoverable and relevant for users.

"You know what I hate?" Vampire Weekend composer and producer Rostam Batmanglij asked The Fader early this year. "When you go see a band . . . and you're waiting for them to finish playing the songs from their new album so they can go back to playing the old ones." Although the band has plenty of old ones—the summery guitar pop of tracks like "A-Punk" and "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" from their debut album and instrumentally and lyrically dense follow-ups like "Diplomat's Sun" and "White Sky"—they've spent the past year or two fine-tuning the new ones. So far, we at home have heard "Diane Young" and "Step," the A and B side of a seven-inch that continues to add new instruments and syncopation to the band's siganture sound; head to Roseland Ballroom tonight to hear those and more.

For her short (1000-word), weekly column, which she produced for four and a half years, she interviewed people from Edward O. Wilson and Tammy Fay Bakker to Tony Hawk and Edward Gorey's literary executor, Andreas Brown, as well as lesser-knowns, from graphic novelists to Australian Rules footballers to residents of a Zen Buddhist monastery. The territory ranged from the northernmost point of San Diego County down to Tijuana.

Sue Ogrocki, Associated Press
In a town decimated by tragedy, the photos that have brought a nation to its knees are coming to life.
ABC News was one of the first sources to interview the Cobb family, whose emotional photo made the front page of The Oklahoman, a newspaper that covers the greater Oklahoma City area, on May 21.
The Cobb family — Steve, LaDonna and 9-year-old Jordan — each gave their first-hand accounts of the EF5-rated tornado as it ripped its way through the town of Moore, Okla.
LaDonna Cobb, who works for the Moore Public School system, threw herself on top of students at Briarwood Elementary School as the tornado, with winds upwards of 200 miles an hour, raged on overhead.
"I was just grabbing onto whatever I could. Once the roof lifted off the building I felt myself being sucked and I knew that if I was taken, then all the little babies underneath me would be gone too, and so I just held on," LaDonna said in the interview with Diane Sawyer. "I held on for dear life until the wall fell on top of me and knocked me out."
In the interview, LaDonna, who has a black eye and a bruised face, expressed her sincere concern for not only her family, but the families of the children at school she had come to love.
Her husband, Steve, is pictured carrying his daughter Jordan away from the demolished school. He too expressed sincere empathy for the children he had to leave behind.
"I just tried to be the best dad that I could at that time, and I wanted (Jordan) to feel like she was safe and that we were all going to be OK," Steve said in the interview. "I wished I could have split myself into two and stayed there and try to kind of help out some of those other kids because I can imagine how they were feeling at that time, when their parents weren't there, they're kind of wandering around."
Meanwhile, at the same school, a young first-grade boy named Hezekiah Darbon was photographed in the middle of an emotional hug with one of the first responders, 47-year-old Jim Routon.
But the connection between these two runs deeper than the trauma of the moment.
Hezekiah and Routon are next-door neighbors. In fact, the pair are so close that the 6-year-old gave them nicknames: Big Dog and Little Dog.
When the boy emerged from the rubble, he saw Routon, which Hezekiah said came as a surprise to him.
"I was so happy that I saw him," Hezekiah said in an interview with "Good Morning America." "I didn't know that he was coming. I thought my mom and dad were going to be the first ones."
Routon, who described the scene as chaotic, expressed what the moment the two were reunited meant to him.
"I think I needed that hug as much as he did," Routon said. "The embrace that we had, it was a very emotional connection."
Emotions ran high not just for those directly involved, but for photographers capturing the stories as well.
ABC News interviewed Associated Press photographer Sue Ogrocki, who photographed many iconic photos from Plaza Towers Elementary, including many photos of children being recovered from the rubble.
"When I ran to the corner and saw the building, I didn't even know that it was a school. I had to ask someone," Ogrocki told ABC. "But that's where, I think, the best images came from, and they were images of children being saved."
Ogrocki said that she was able to capture the beauty of humanity, even in spite of a horrific tragedy.
"What I saw through my lens yesterday was kind of like a saving grace, because there was all this destruction here and bad things and people died, but what I got to see was people getting saved," she said. "And you don't get to see that very often as a news photographer."
Ogrocki, who shared her experience firsthand on ABC, said she felt relief every time she saw a child pulled out alive.
Though the great tornado that swept through a town of more than 56,000 claimed the lives of 24, including seven children, Ogrocki said that of the children she saw pulled from the rubble, all were alive.

Love these pictures. I think at the looks of these fathers you know where there first priority is...their family. I think we as fans tend to forget sometimes that these fearsome NFL players are also Dads who love their kids just like we do. Obviously not all NFL players are good dads or husbands but I think the majority are. Good to see.

SANDY — A devastating wildfire in central Arizona claimed the lives of 19 firefighters Sunday, and crews are still scrambling to contain the Yarnell Hill Fire.
Firefighters across the nation are mourning the loss of the firefighters.
"Losing one (firefighter) is a bad day, but to have 19, all in the same fire, it's a bad day for firefighters across the nation," Sandy Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Cline said.
The tragedy Sunday all but wiped out the 20-member Granite Mountain Hotshots, the Associated Press reported. Only one member survived, and that was because he was moving the unit's truck at the time.
Hotshots are elite firefighters sent in from around the country to battle the fiercest wildfires. The lightning-sparked Yarnell Hill Fire has destroyed about 50 homes. An additional 200 firefighters were on the scene Monday to help the 200 already battling the fire.
The Arizona firefighters were using their emergency shelters, something all wildland firefighters are trained to do, but they hope they never have to.
Firefighters in Sandy often help with wildfires.
"We generally support more from a home-protection standpoint," Sandy Fire Capt. Daniel Christensen said.
Sandy also has several neighborhoods in some of the higher-risk hillside areas.
The sleeping bag-shaped, fire-resistant shelters are reflective, can withstand up to 500 degrees and are designed only for one-time use. Green ones are used frequently for training.
"If all our plans have failed to that point and you're in a bad situation, then you go to that fire shelter," Christensen said.
Once it's decided to deploy the fire shelter, firefighters get rid of all unnecessary tools and gear and just keep their radio and water, he said. They cover their entire body and stay as close to the ground as possible.
In addition to blocking out the heat, the shelters are designed to trap some of the cleaner air. Firefighters stay inside until the danger has passed.
"It won't withstand direct heat or direct flame impingement," Christensen said. "Like any of our fire gear with direct flame impingement, they'll burn and melt, and so it just reflects heat."
He said firefighters train for such situations, but few have actually been in one.
"We have people that are out on a lookout," Christensen explained. "We have safety areas. We stay in communication with weather changes and all that, so we're always trying to be prepared. We're staying in burned areas. We call it staying in the black. We don't want to be uphill."
While it is still hard to say what went wrong Sunday in Arizona, firefighters say sometimes even the best plans can be thwarted by an unexpected change.
"With the different kinds of vegetation, it can be burning pretty predictable, and then you get a wind come up and it can move quickly," Christensen said.

The fish will only eat the dead fish off people if they have been starved for a few days beforehand.
While fish in the wild can go days without feeding, it seems kind of cruel to purposefully starve them in order to get them to nibble on people.
According to this article in a Chinese newspaper, beauty-seekers in Southern China (and other parts of the world) are soaking themselves in pools filled with a type of small fish that eat human skin:
Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed Chinchin Yu, nibble fish or simply doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are naturally used for the treatment of skin diseases in such spas. When placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won't hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin.Link. Wikipedia says the fish only do this when they don't have anything better to eat: Link. Image: photo.eastday.com. (Thanks, C.M.)
Reader comment: Jon Power says,
Following your fish-eat-dead-skin story, I'm sure you're aware of the use of fly maggots to clean wounds. The maggots only eat dead flesh and so keep the wound raw and healing. They have a remarkable effect on closing up deep wounds over time, but not surprisingly, people are a bit squeamish of the idea. Link.

It's not right to starve those fish. Just another crappy thing people do for crappy reasons. *sigh*
you wouldnt call it crappy if yor husband couldnt hold his children for the deep cuts caused by psoriasis on his hands,,,
"The fish will only eat the dead fish off people if they have been starved for a few days beforehand."
Not true – any food source is welcomed whether they have an existing food supply or not. Younger fish or shrimp tend to try new things anyway and are more bold.
I wonder what the fish taste like. Wait, would that be cannibalism?
Cannibalism by proxy. The best kind
I would name them all these fish "Nibbles".
what kind of fishes are that?
Yes very cruel to use the fish to do such things.
I have recently had this treatment and I was assured that the fish are actually fed also
the fish are fed otherwise they die, the human flesh are just an extra meal
usally the fish only eat dead skin on the feet
i wanna have iit done it looks so coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllll
How could it possibly be cruel to let them eat the skin off your feat. Your feeding them. what's really cruel is that there are thousands of people if not millions, out catching fish everyday…. To eat. Cruel but we still do it, because it tastes good. We all have to eat.

CocoaPods is hosting a discussion panel. The Komittee is an event where we will take people with strong opinions, and get them started on a contentious topic and see if we can learn something from the process. Testing in general is a hot topic. Mix that with a tight platform, closed tools and you've got a lot of flames.
• QA vs Automated Unit testing
• Testing units of code vs Testing behaviour
• Obj-C implementation strategies vs other ecosystems
• Time management
• Ways to improve testing for everyone
• @dblock
• @btgerst
• @lfuller
I really like having tests to confirm that some sequence of events is happening like I think they are.
One thing I was thinking about at the talk that I didn't hear mentioned was the appropriateness of automated testing to edge cases (out of space, something happening at just the vulnerable time, fillign the buffer just so full). It can be really difficult to create an edge case from the UI.
My question is how much scaffolding people end up writing around their tests? Even using appropriate mocking and testing frameworks, I find that I end up writing quite a bit of code to create fake environments and perturb them in order to see that my code correctly perceives the environment. Technically this would be integration testing since I'm looking at how a system of actors behaves. Does this sound familiar at all to anyone else?

Excellent discussion. I'd be interested in hearing more about people's strategies for testing — i.e., when you're creating a new view controller what are the first tests you write, how do you measure / think about test coverage, etc. I'd love to see a follow-up tied more directly to tools and approaches.

Fantastic panel discussion. Only comment for improvement would be that someone could ask for the definition of terms or names when thrown out- "smoke testing" was eventually, but also at one point talking about something called Hockey? Just an example. Still great.

will delight horror/fantasy fans...Steven King's son has the same knack as his dad for telling gruesome magical tales (MyM Magazine)
A deliciously horrific fantasy...the work of a talented and evolving storyteller whose pages sure do turn. (The Skinny)
NOS4R2 is enthrallingly petrifying and creepily engrossing. A 700-page race to the finish line, it drags its terrified readers kicking and screaming along. (THE SUNDAY TIMES)
NOS4R2 has energy, plenty of narrative hooks, and a brash intensity. There's a big engine of entertainment at the heart of NOS4R2. (THE GUARDIAN)
[An] imaginative and atmospheric chiller. Scary. (SUNDAY MIRROR)
Hill's writing is smart and assured and bursting with his own style and personality. NOS4R2 - and this is not meant as a criticism - feels more like the sort of thing his dad would do. Perhaps that's intentional - maybe NOS4R2 is meant as a homage to those big Eighties horror novels. It certainly has the feel of one, the heft and the scope. But the biggest box that it ticks is that it's genuinely scary, and you can't really ask more of a horror novel than that. (THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
This vivid exploration of the darker borders between fantasy and reality weaves hallowed genre references together to create something unmistakably Hill's own. A magnificently creepy novel that marks the point Master King turned master storyteller. (METRO)
Joe Hill's third novel is his most ambitious yet, a complex and sprawling fantasy horror that plays with time and structure, language and genre without losing the emotional core which anchored his previous work. If it's reminiscent of the author's father, Stephen King, it's less Christine and more wide-reaching works like IT that it channels (and references) - though Hill's own style is distinct. A thrilling journey, which should cement Hill as one of the most exciting drivers of horror fiction today. (SFX)
This is a book that starts with a bang and then relentlessly builds. Joe managed to make my skin crawl in the first chapter, turning what should be a time for celebration into something decidedly creepy. At the mid-point of a lengthy book it became near un-putdownable, in that horrifying 'can't look away from a car crash' kind of way. Although the details are dark and even horrible, the narrative pull is relentless and unstoppable. (Mark Yon SFFWORLD.COM)
I found myself swept up by Hill's prose and story, drawn on through the novel. The author manages to make the mundane fascinating - the little details of these characters' lives, their thoughts and every-day concerns... In many authors' hands, this attention to detail would be suffocating and perhaps tedious, giving the novel a bloated feel. Not so for Hill; when added to the creepy goings-on related to Christmasland and its master, Charles Manx, he spins a fascinating, engrossing, suspenseful tale. If you have any interest in classic, literary horror fiction, then NOS4R2 is for you. Recommended. (CIVILIAN READER BLOG)
NOS4R2 is an excellent novel, populated with believable characters and some intense, creepy scenes. (STARBURST)
NOS4R2 is an epic tale of horror, compassion and innocence. Hill's text sizzles on the page, providing scares, laughs and adventure throughout. Hill even pays homage to and references Horns, Heart-Shaped Box and other well-known mythologies. With NOS4R2 Joe Hill has transcended the excellence of his previous works. He has brought pop culture, horror and fantasy together in a truly masterful book that will launch him even further into the stratosphere of mainstream recognition, something that he richly deserves. (THIS IS HORROR)
NOS4R2 has all the author's hallmarks: the deeply flawed hero, the magical gifts with a terrible price, and the pitch black sense of humour. While it's Hill's most sprawling novel to date, NOS4R2 contains some of his finest writing yet.He stretches tense sequences to an almost unbearable length, presents us with terrifying monsters and heart-rending heroes, and gives us another darkly funny and scabrously nightmarish journey. Crucially, Vic's journey is one that you will want to see through to the end. It may wobble occasionally, but it's a hell of a ride. (SCI FI NOW)
NOS4R2, is a genuinely frightening experience; Hill knows which buttons to press to get the reaction he wants, and takes great delight in their pressing. It is, for me, his best novel yet, the perfect combination of magical coming-of-age story and balls-to-the-wall horror-fest. You won't look at Rolls-Royce in quite the same way again, and Charlie Manx is likely to haunt your dreams - especially if you have children of your own - for a very long time. Do yourself a favour and don't miss it. (READER DAD blog)
Joe Hill's third novel is a terrifying story that confirms his place in the modern American horror pantheon. With some images which may well haunt your dreams, this is the horrific side of the American Dream brought to life. (SCI FI BULLETIN)
A horror novel that tackles mental illness, depression, addiction and loss is very much a human one. This is not your basic good versus evil tale; rather it is about unconditional love overcoming adversity.NOS4R2 reads like a thriller at times, it is a totally gripping and satisfying read, expertly constructed and brilliantly executed. This one is a triumph. (FANTASY BOOK REVIEW)
NOS4R2 is a hard read, full of horrible things happening to your favourite characters. Coming in at just over 700 pages, it's a hefty tome, but thanks to Hill's crisp and clean writing style and absorbing, fast-paced action it did not feel as long as the page count suggests. The concept is not mind-blowing, but is put to the service of a strong cast of characters perfectly. This book is a great choice for anyone looking for an intelligent horror with genuine emotional impact. (Hugh Armitage STRANGE PLACES)
A deeply disturbing book written by a great new writer in the horror field. Wherever Hill's talents came from, they're clearly on display here and he's certainly deserving of a long and successful career in the field to match his father's, to judge from this novel. If you're a reader who, like me, found the horror field through the popularity of Stephen King, you're going to love Joe Hill. (THE BOOK BAG)
