Summary: Insanity at it's finest
Review: I thought the characters were definately people I could relate to. The teacher whos gone over the edge, the students that seem to fit every click from high school, you felt like you could have been a part of that world. The mind of Mr. Verbicky is very demented, I just hope he didn't try out his ideas before writing about them.

Summary: Possibly the worst book ever written
Review: I used to work w/ Verbicky in the late 90's and got coerced into buying his book. I finally read it this weekend, after it sat in my bookshelf for five years - and thankfully I no longer have any contact w/ Verbicky so I don't have to look at him and wonder what is wrong with his brain. This is possibly the worst book ever written, not to mention that the minimal but gruesome plot indicates that Verbicky will be spending time in penitentiaty someday for being an axe murderer or serial rapist. I want my money back Verbicky!

Summary: Nightmare at the Editor's Desk (or Where Was the Editor?)
Review: It is apparent that the rave reviews for the novel came from the author's friends and/or family. At first, it was difficult to enjoy the book as the reader is barraged with typos, grammatical errors and misspellings, but as the plot developed (or failed to develop), the editorial errors became the only amusing aspect of this apparently self-published novel. The time line is jumpy and conflicted, the characters (especially the villian)are completely undeveloped, and the events are predictable. Mr Verbicky should learn a little of human physiology in order to make his fantasies close to believable (i.e.: feeding a captive steak and french fries after days/weeks/months (again, a bad timeline) with no water). This book was left in the bathroom of a Delta Jet where it belongs!

Summary: A chilling success in the horror realm!
Review: The author has a deep descriptive gift that drives this tale to the depths of imagination. One can't escape the effects, the story rivets the reader to the bitter end of an intense experience. Now the reader must ask: give us your next!
