3.0 out of 5 stars Clegg's story spoilt by the jumps!, 30 Nov 2001
By Craig Hale (Cheltenham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: You Come When I Call You (Mass Market Paperback)
What a pity. This novel of childhood possesion could have been Clegg's finest hour as Stephen King's book of childhood 'IT' was. 'You come when I call you' starts well enough, leaving enough mystery to keep the reader intrigued as the main characters are interviewed about an incident that occured in their hometown when they were children. The flashbacks are wonderful and show Clegg maturing into a wonderful story teller. But it is the jumpiness of the plot that spoils the novel. Just as you are enjoying the children's story, Clegg pulls you back to present time where the main characters are now adults and seem to be unlikable and rather two dimensional. Also, these time changes are too frequent and the book appears to have very little rythym to it - causing you to look forward to reading it sometimes and reluctantly picking it up at other times - all depending on what character and what time you are reading in the story. The novel really is that inconsistant. But on a lighter note, I have read much worse, and Clegg does seem to be improving all the time. If you have not read Clegg before, I recommend his debut novel 'Goat Dance' and his story collection 'Nightmare Chronicles'. These titles will get you use to his style and you will find 'You come when I call You' much more comfortable reading. All in all, this title is just a little jitter in an improving storytellers career. Disappointing, yet enjoyable sporadically.
