Tooth and Claw: The Second in the New Jim Rook Series (Rook Series , No 2)

Rating:
Summary: Great, awesome read. Only from the master of Horror!
Review: I was weary of the idea of a storyline that someone can see ghosts, and no one else can as it is too common and gets old fast. Not when Masterton does it. He takes it up six or more levels to something worth reading and entertaining. This is the first of his ROOK series that I have read and i thought it was magnificant. Other than having to bear with the misspellings of some words, it was worthwhile. You cannot put down this book without feeling terrible. I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed with this book. You should try his other books. I have read all his horror books but one: ROOK. I am trying to find it to buy but no one but Amazon has it ($35.00) a little steep for me right now. Anyhow, I recommend all his books.

Summary: Entertaining, although not what it could have been.
Review: The 2nd book in the Jim Rook series is certainly an improvement on the first, but still fails to live up to Masterton's earlier work. The writing style is crisp, if overly simple and some ideas are great, but the characters aren't fleshed out as much as one would hope. The final scene which features a body part being used as a football was very quirky and is worth the price of admission. The Native American mythology added some more intrigue to the tale. If you read the first and liked it, this is a fun continuation of the story. The ending will leave you wanting to read the 3rd in the series, which I certainly plan to do! I just hope they keep getting better.
