Summary: UnCannY
Review: This book is incredible. 377 pages. Smooth Introduction of the characters and their stories which made them the people they live like today. Once they enter Harrow, everything changes. A true page turner, it will make you try to guess what will happen next and what the characters may or may not do.
Psychometry.....Opening doors and facing truths. Keep it coming Clegg

Summary: Great start, boring middle section, good ending
Review: This book is like many other haunted house books for the most part. Clegg is a perfectionist when it comes to describing characters so that you have background on each and every one. For most of his books, this is great, but this story goes into too much depth about the character's background and thus takes up the majority of this book's contents. The beginning of this book is spectacular but the end leaves a bit to be desired. Overall, I'm a huge fan of Douglas Clegg and will continue to read his books, but I was slightly dissapointed with this one.

Summary: 'There are 1000's of Haunted house books, dont need more'
Review: This book is straight 'Haunted house' book. And 'Mischief' was also not original. Harrow - become school in 'Mischief' and become 'Haunted House' in this book. Not a sinlge character is original, they all have apperared in haunted house stories before. And the writing style is very confusing. Whatever happened to the author who wrote A+ grade books such as; 'YCW..' 'Halloween man' 'Nighmare cron..'? Hope he will come out with something goood.

Summary: The book builds to a quick ending.
Review: This books starts out like very interesting. I kept waiting for the supernatural to take hold, but instead I had to read 200 pages of character profile. When they finally reach the house your expecting the horror to begin. Instead everything happens in the last 20 pages. If you skip to the end you will find out everything you need to know about the book. Unfortunate because I thought the Halloween man was good.

Summary: Harrow House owes Shirley Jackson a Thank You.
Review: This is a great book, despite early comparisons to The Haunting, House on Haunted Hill, and most recently Rose Red.There will always be studies in the paranormal circles of haunted houses and the people who claim to have "special powers." As we watch and read these studies, we often wonder, why the heck these people? Are they all psychologically damaged, emotionally needy people who are looking for the one thing to completely set them over the edge? Probably not, but that's the mixed bag you get with the psychics who are invited to study Harrow House in Watch Point, NY. A home with a storied past, most reently a fire tahat destroyed the school it used to harbor, it vibrates with the energies of past inhabitants, a battery which stores the most destructive of memories. I recommend this book for the ewasy-going style of Douglas Clegg and his ability to make you feel for even the most hateful charaters.

Summary: disappointing!
Review: this is a very cookie-cutter haunted house book obviously inspired by Shirley Jackson and Richard Matheson's stories but nowhere near as good. it does't offer anything to the genre and even worse it is a roughly 380 page book in which nothing happens until after page 300, everything before that is elaborate character info. so you get to learn a lot about these people then get to see them do or react to very little. i kept waiting for it to get really good, and it didn't happen.

Summary: Great Start, But Unsatisfying Conclusion
Review: This is my second Clegg novel, after _You Come When I Call You_ and I'm wondering if I should give him another chance. I keep reading and hearing that he's the logical successor to Stephen King and Peter Straub, but from my experience, he still has a long way to go. _The Infinite_ starts off well, with in-depth introductions to the three main characters. They are individuals and not cookie-cutter stereotypes. But when the three finally arrive at Harrow for a week of "ghost hunting," things slow way down and very little happens. Then, we're treated to a very rushed and illogical climax and conclusion. I had basically the same experience with _Call_--a story that was so slowly developed and characters created with great attention and loving detail, ultimately fell apart when it came time for something to happen. Clegg needs to develop his entire plot in the same level of detail. For _The Infinite_, this would probably mean another two or three hundred pages of material, but it would be worth it if he could turn in a book that maintains the same high level all the way through. This was a very disappointing book.

Summary: Very Good!
Review: This is one helluva novel. The prologue is the best I think I've ever read anywhere, as far as getting the reader ready for the ride. Everybody loves haunted house stories. This one is a very good one. I liked The Haunting-I know a lot of people like it as well. This is The Haunting with teeth. In this novel, the reader is shown the terrors. Perhaps the bogies might rival Lovecraft. One thing for sure, this writer has not shortchanged anyone in creating this book. I won't be surprised to see a movie made from The Infinite. As for that, I think I'll be surprised if a movie isn't made. What can I say?

Summary: Good for a rainy afternoon
Review: This is the fairly standard haunted house novel, directly in the tradition of The Haunting of Hill House, and Hell House. The plot is familiar: some house is reputed to be "the haunted house." A paranormal investigator assembles a team of psychics to spend the week and see if anything funky happens (which it inevitably does). The book, while not terribly original, is competently written with well defined characters. Clegg does not kick it up to the next level by making it truly unforgetable, but it does have a few good scares in it.
