NIGHT

Rating:
Summary: Thought Provoking
Review: Not being a horror fan I was loath to start on this book and only started reading out of desperation and boredom. I've since read it twice more. It's thought provoking and puts an interesting slant on the the subject. It's by no means perfect (a few questions remain unanswered) but is thoroughly entertaining and not a book easily forgotten.

Summary: Fairly entertaining, uneven
Review: The book has its moments, but as a regular consumer of this type of fiction I couldn't recommend it. One bothersome point was in regard to the "grandfather" character. Was he the protagonist's great-grandfather, or his great-great grandfather? Different places in the book explicitly state each. It doesn't make any difference to the plot, but stumbles in continuity are symptomatic of other problems. The book is uneven, doesn't hold together real well in places, leaves lots of loose ends.
