Summary: A fast-paced, suspenseful "good read"!
Review: A quick read that grabs you from the start and will not let you rest until the last sentence. I was absorbed into the vivid setting of esentially two stories woven into one.
Subtlely wrenched my gut in constant u-turns in the plot.
A real find.

Summary: Dumb!, Dumb!
Review: Below Par on every level, bad writing, a good plot idea immaturley executed, reminded me of a high school creative writing student but only mildly better. Might appeal to people with an IQ of 70 on a warm day. Try Brian Hodge or Matthew J. Costello Instead, they are far superior.

Summary: Funny and dark, well written and sick.
Review: David Martin is a creative story-teller with a soulful and a sick, vivid imagination. He's got a way with words and has come up with another unpredictable storyline. A master of suspense, he opens the story with an intruder in the house and let's you know the married couple are doomed in the first couple of pages. Yet, the chapter is filled with suspense. Afterwards, everytime a chapter ends or starts with "Tap Tap," the reader holds on tight, knowing something horrible is about to happen. But you read on. You have to! Hollywood, instead of filming re-makes, should turn this book -- and others by Martin -- into movies ASAP.

Summary: Very enjoyable ride
Review: Fast paced, quick and easy reading. I did not find it to be as graphic as some of the other reviewers. Oh well, maybe next time. Great ending.

Summary: Great, but a little too...out there...
Review: First off...I love David Martins writing. I can't place it, but I can read his books over and over again and still feel the same thrills as before.I was excited to read this one, and I finished it within two days...but just something about it kinda threw me off track. I mean, the book has its thrills and chills...but it gets a little "Fantasy" like towards the end, and one thing I liked about Martins books is that you can actually picture it in your head without hesitation, but in this book I couldn't do it...

Summary: Compelling !
Review: I happened to pick up Tap Tap while looking for a new thriller. I could not put this one down. I hope the movie makers would pick this one up. It would be fantastic on the big screen. Mr. Martin's writing style ranks with the best. I can't wait to read his other books.

Summary: Humor, Witt, Horror, and a Doll named Dondo
Review: I read this book 2 years ago, and i still love to pick it up and read it over again. The Humor is dry and witty, the gory parts actually left my hair standing on my neck, and the end leaves you waiting for more. I feel Martin's writing is wonderful in this great bizare novel.... all that and a Freaky doll named Dondo!!!

Summary: Good Clean Fun
Review: In two words Quick Fun. This novel is no great piece of literature, but it was a good quick solid read, that was interesting to say the least.
The concept, alone was what riveted me, to read the book. Imagine that your best friend from 10 years ago suddenly comes to your front door and strikes up a conversation, about this or that. Then at some point he asks you who do you hate, and who hurt you or your family. No big deal. Right?
Then suddenly all the people who you mentioned the day before start turning up dead.
So starts the adventure, that is both interesting and never failing. I like these type of books from time to time, short in length, long in suspense. Good Clean Fun.
