5.0 out of 5 stars Straubs best book by far, 4 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Throat (Paperback)
This continues Straubs work on the after affects of Vietnam which he started in Koko. Throat concentrates on Tim Underhill as he retraces his childhood whilst helping an old freind to discover a killer. Its hard to define this as horror as its also a compulsive page turning thriller. Absolutely brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best book i own, 23 Nov 2005
By Ms. J. Kelly "josie kelly" (Oxfordshire England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Throat (Paperback)
How do I convey in words just how good this book is? I continue to read it at least once every 2 years and still get involved in the complex storyline as if it were the first time. The characters inhabit a world that seems just a little beyond my reach - they're all more intelligent than I am, but they do not feel alien to me. It's easy to compare Mr Straub with Stephen King, but that is misleading. King's books provide a pleasant diversion away form ordinary life (though I haven't actually read any of his books for a number of years now - why read King when I can re-read Straub?). The books of Peter Straub are on a whole different level. Try one and see...

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant sequel! , 6 Dec 2004
By B. Jonsson "Literate Warlock" (falun, dalarna sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Throat (Paperback)
"Mystery" and "The Throat" once saved me from winter depression, sending me deep into the dark, gloomy stories of Tom Pasmore and Tim Underhill. Lies, deceit and violence inhabited the large mansions as well as the ramshackle buildings of "Pigtown", the ghettolike part of the island, where the poor black people lived. People look down on the "detectives", disliking their digging in other people's miserable secrets and their interest in the truth, truths they themselves wanted to keep hidden. Men in high places try to stop them, at all cost..

The writing is superb and I enjoyed the books to the last page.
Straub has been said too be the "Stephen King for adults", perhaps an unhappy choice of words, since both writers deserve far more credit than that, but I partly agree. They are both masters in building this tension, this uncanny feeling that someone is watching you. If you want that feeling, without any supernatural stuff, these books are for you. I promise you won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read!
Like a jigsaw puzzle whodunnit where, just as you think all is revealed, Straub throws a few more pieces on the table just to confuse you. Read more
