Summary: Interesting, but should have ended much before
Review: This is my first time as a reader of Bentley Little's work. The first 200 hundred pages of the book hooked me but then what began as an interesting premise ran out of gas as it became too much of a weird science-fiction story. It seems like Mr Little got too engrossed in wanting to finish the book that he piled event upon event and made it look rather messy and nonsenical towards the end. The first part of the book focused on a true all-too credible everyday horror...it could happen to me, to you, to anyone. We could be simply "Ignored" as he puts it. The second part was as if influenced heavily by film director David Lynch. Good imagery, but far too surrealistic and far-fetched...thus blowing what could have been a very good book all around. If Little's books all follow the same kind of style then perhaps I won't read another one of his. It will take me a lot of a goading and persuading if I really must.

Summary: Engrossing
Review: Something about Bentley Little draws you in and won't let you go. I could not put this book down, I finished it in two days. It's scary because I think we've all felt "Ignored" at some point in our lives. I was left wondering how much of what we do is really noticed by the people around us.

Summary: I LOVED IT!!
Review: Apparently, this is one of those books you either love or hate. I loved it! Brilliant, perceptive and thought-provoking, it's not for the slice-and-dice crowd, but any educated reader who isn't terrified by the implications of this tale has no soul.

Summary: Cerebral horror!
Review: Insidiously creepy and perfect for people who like a little intelligence with their horror. Bentley Little actually manages to write an original horror story!

Summary: THE BEST BOOK OF THE NINETIES!!
Review: Maybe I'm just an alienated urban dweller, but this book really hit home. THE IGNORED is the most insightful novel on contemporary mores and our depersonalized society that I have ever read. Bentley Little is brilliant.

Summary: I love horror stories but not this one.
Review: Interesting premise but it just didn't go anywhere. Unfocused and redundant to the point of being maddening, The Ignored got sillier with each page. A real disappointment after the high praise I had heard about the book.
Rating: 
Summary: Never got the point!
Review: I will not elaborate on why I did not like this book because it would take too long. The whole story dragged on and on. I continued reading the story hoping that there would be some sense to it, but that did not happen. Maybe his other books are better, I don't know but I just don't understand how anyone could call "The Ignored" a horror book. The only reason I bought this book was because the ratings were good but I guess everyone thinks differently.

Summary: 1st and last shot at reading Mr. Little
Review: After reading the readers reviews of this book, I was prepared for an all out, can't put it down, horror/thriller. What I got was a slow moving, redundant novel with no basis in reality and an absolutely silly concept. This is the first book by Bentley Little that I've attempted and that was because of the glowing review by Stephen King (who must be selling his reviews to the highest bidder at this point in his career). The story line drags along and just keeps repeating itself and even if you can forgive the complete lack of morality on behalf of the Ignored, you can't "ignore" the fact that you are reminded of their condition on almost every page and always in the same manner. We know what their problem is, now get on with developing a story line and creating some excitement. I wish this book had been as good as some people thought because it would be nice to discover a new talent in genre where everyone else is now concerned only with volume and not wi! th quality.

Summary: THE IGNORED *SHOULD* HAVE WON THE STOKER
Review: Betley Little's THE IGNORED is, without a doubt, the best horror novel of 1997. If you cannot identify with the emotions here, you're just NOT from this planet, and your spaceship is waiting for you in Roswell.Because who hasn't felt ignored at one time or another? Who hasn't felt like no one notices them, and who hasn't thought that, no matter what they do,they'll never get ahead? Aah... THERE'S the twist, though. THAT'S where Bentley Little spins his magic, and those who have been ignored are no longer. Revenge. And it is so sweet, isn't it? Yep. THE IGNORED won't let you down. It will touch you, and then, my friend, you won't be ignored any longer. Enjoy!
