4.0 out of 5 stars Typically Laymon !, 1 Jun 2005
By Gina Skinner (near London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Funland (Paperback)
Jeremy and his mother have just moved from a remote village to the californian seaside resort of Boleta Bay. The 16-year old is thrilled to bits about the new town - everything is just so exciting. There's the beach with lots of half-naked girls who he likes to watch for hours and hours on end, and the buzzling fun park which tells of excitement and adventures. The only problem is that Jeremy doesn't know anybody of his own age just yet, and so he makes it his first mission to find some new friends. Since he's had the image of a sissy and a loser in his old village, he's now determined to make a fresh start. He decides he is going to do whatever it takes to be seen as cool. When a group of teenies approach him, they seem nice enough, but as Jeremy gets to know them better he soon finds out some nasty little secrets about his new friends. And that's when the horror begins...

This review is from: Funland (Paperback)
This book is one of Richard Laymons best ever, with a fantastic twist at the end and non-stop heart pounding action throughout the whole novel. You MUST read this book

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!, 7 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Funland (Paperback)
This was an absolutly fantastic novel and definately Laymon's best! He captures the readers imagination and manipulates it which only a skillful writer can do. He creates a wonderful sense of atmosphere and wonderful, colourful characters which make this novel an excellent read. With a dramatic twist at the climax, you will be gripping the pages with both hands and reading for hours, finding it impossible to put the book down. Buy this book if its the last thing you do, you wont regret it!
