The Hellfire Club

Rating:
Summary: Zero Stars
Review: This is truely one of the worst books I've read. It's very slow, banal, and has no point.

Very disappointing after reading great books like Ghost Story, The Throat, and Koko by the same author.

Even avid Straub fans will be not want to waste their time reading this one.

Summary: Not well done and not worth reading
Review: Up to date I have read every book by Peter Straub, and have loved all of them, except this one! Up to about page 250, this book was excellent. I absolutely loved it. It was well written, complex, and mysterious. But upon meeting Dick Dart, I greatly disliked it. I thought that the very descriptive rapes and murders were drawn out and dumb. I thought that Dick Dart was almost childish. The ending was dumb, and the whole kidnapping thing could have been made SO much better. In some ways, I didn't like Nora's character almost IMMIDIATELY after meeting Dick Dart. NOT WORTH READING EVER!!!!! Read his others, they're wonderful.
