Summary: Tim's perspective on Eye of the Beholder
Review: Eye of the Beholder is a very suspenseful and thrilling book. It will keep your full attention from the beginning to the end. It barely made me use my imagination to put a face on every person in the book, that is how well Behm writes. Not knowing what's going to happen from one minute to the next keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what the author has in store for you next. Horror has always been my favorite kind of book but this suspense thriller is a welcome change. Behm's style of writing was very interesting to me because he didn't drag the story out,he filled this book with many different interesting events. In other words this book was written about the characters over a long period of time, it wasn't just one event throughout the whole book. It took you along with these characters for many years of their lives and gradually came to a climatic end. This was a great book full of suspense and thrills and I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Not great, but okay.
Review: I liked the new way in which the story was told. This is a twist on an old fashioned mystery book.

Summary: Totally Different than the Movie
Review: Since this was a novel that a movie had been based on (not a novelization,) I had high expectations. I (though I have never quite figured out why) have always loved the movie form of Eye of the Beholder, I thought I would love the book as well. However, I was greatly disappointed.

The movie is about as different as possible from the book. The Eye in the book is much more unbalanced. In the book he follows Joanna Eris for purely selfish reasons whereas in the movie he is trying to help her. In the book, he intentionally kills at times where in the movie were totally accidental. Even though most people found the movie to be quite bad, the book was even worse.
