5.0 out of 5 stars Rip Roaring Read, 23 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This book... where do I start.. it was simply one of the best books I have ever read and the other best books I have read are all written by Richard Laymon. The man is a genius. This book blew me away, I was turning those pages like you wouldnt believe, the story grips you and gets you right from the word go. I have all Richard's books he has ever written and I have the new ones all on order.. I am addicted to Richard ! You simply must buy this book and if you dont you're nuts!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, 15 Jul 2002
This book is amazing!!I own all Laymons books and they are all brill but this one is one of his best.....sure puts truth in the phrase "can't put it down"..Laymon has got to be the best writer I have read and your gonna have loads of fun with this one...keeps you guessing all the way through.When a chapter ends you cant stop yourself reading more. One to read over and over again!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Page Turner, 6 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is not only the best Laymon book I've read but the best book I've read PEROID. I used to think that the cliche " I couldn't put it down " was a bit stupid until I read this. I mean you tell yourself that you will put it down after you finish the next chapter but they all end in a cliffhanger like "and the floor creaked" or "she picked up the box" AAAHH !!! GIVE ME A BREAK I WANT TO SLEEP.By the end of this book my eyes were hanging out like a labatory beagle.

Start reading this at the weekend because if you have to work next morning then forget it.

Come on Mr. Laymon MORE MORE MORE !!!!!
