Novel Reflection: The Complete Horowitz Horror

     I just the finished the greatest piece of classical novel that I had ever read! It's called the Complete Horowitz Horror!
          This is the cover of the book.

Book Review:
       This book is just WONDERFUL I must say. It is a mixture of horror and some kind of a fantasy, the details in the book may be quite unrealistic. Now, let's talk about the book. This book talks about a tragedy or a mystery that starts from something very ordinary. A bathtub that has a crazy history that can make you want to kill people? There is not a single person that has the guts to enter this bathtub. A camera with a normal appearance that can do such horrible things that it's almost unspeakable! How about an elevator with all the creepy cannibals, URG, waiting for its next innocent victim to get trapped in a deadly elevator. I must admit that I really love the feeling when I was reading this book. I was trapped in a world that I can't help myself getting out. I was stuck there on my chair, my body in my room but my soul somewhere out there, being hypnotized by the powerful attraction of the book. I seriously can not put the book down. When I started reading it, it was quite boring but as I enter further more and more in, I figured out the conflict of the book and it was marvelous! I mean it. What I have to say now is ... "JUST GO CHECK OUT THE BOOK AND READ IT"! Enjoy it word by word, float yourself into your imaginations or visualizations. You will love it!
