Creep is Jennifer Hillier's debut novel. In full disclosure, I have been following her blog for a while, so I might not be an impartial observer. On the other hand, I don't generally read thrillers, uless they are Micheal Crichton scifi thrillers (hey Jennifer, you should totally consider this considering we lost Crichton). So, this book was a little out of my comfort range.
It was good, I mean that is what you want to know, and, it being a thriller, you don't really want anything else spoiled. I usually read on the train going to and from work. I get in about 25 pages each way. Creep is 368 pages, so it should have meant a good 7 days worth of reading. I ripped through it. Thursday evening I was at about page 275 and if you are at page 275 of this book you are not likely to put it down for long, so I continued to read through when I got home. So, yeah, I was into it.
To change things up a little bit- I thought I would cast some of the characters as they were portrayed in my mind movie. Hollywood, if you are listening, this would be a money maker, and if you want to use my casting ideas, email me for the address to send the check to.
Dr. Sheila Tao- Our Chinese American Psyche professor would be played by the delectable and still sexy at almost 50 Ming-Na could play the 39 year old Tao I think. Just imagine her with that red
Morris- Dr. Tao's ex-football O-lineman is just screeming to be played by Puddy, I mean Patrick Warburton. He might have to add some pounds for the role but he could do it. His real life son could even play Morris' estranged son.
Ethan- the antagonist, psyche student that has an affair with his teacher could be played by Justin Hartley of Smallville fame. Wow, I didn't realize he was that old, he is my age.
Abbey- Ethan's girlfriend- Mila Kunis would be pitch perfect
Jerry-the ex beat cop turned private investigator could be played by an aged Orlando Jones. His wife could be a nice role for Michelle Yeoh.
Agree or disagree with my casting? Let me know who you would cast.
