Rating: Summary: WOW! Plan to read until you finish. Review: What a wonderful read! You absolutely cannot put this novel down until you finish.
Rating: Summary: If you really like TV's 'Millennium', then you'll love this. Review: What makes T. Jefferson Parker's novels so great are the way that they paint a picture in your head on how twisted people can become. While being a regular detective/mystery thriller novel, this one leads a little to the darker things in life and some very strange and bizzarre rituals that the 'baddie' involves us in. Also there are a few sub plots to the book that really display great character development. There are a few instances of real page turners where you the author shocks you and your jaw drops. What stops this from 5 stars is a slightly 'hokey' climax, and a very quick resloution to one of the sub-plots, but on the whole a very eerie, bordering on supernatural thriller.
Rating: Summary: Good read, but not very scary Review: While the storyteller does an excellent job of weaving 2 seperate plots, he leaves out one important factor. The villian wasn't scary. The villian has to be like a horrible car accident. While it makes your insides shudder and crawl, you still can't look away. All the reviews for this book compare the villian, Horridus, to Hannibal the Cannibal. Not even close. Looking into Hannibal's soul was like looking into a snakes eyes. You are completly mesmorized and cannot look away, even when you know the danger that lurks within them. Don't get me wrong it was a good read but it won't keep you up at night.
