Summary: Like Drinking vinegar spiked with Sewage Water
Review: As I only have so many hours in which to consume good quality writing, I am sad to say that some of that time was spent in reading this book. I didn't even finish it. 10 full chapters then I started to speed read it to at least understand the story. I may or may not finish speed reading it, just so I can discuss it with my Sci Fi Reading Club. I would return it to the library if it wasn't for the fact I might want to discuss it with others in my group. But what I have read is enough to make me want to throw out what was on my plate. Reading it made me feel as if I had been drinking vinegar spiked with Sewage Water. With the idea of a Tooth Fairy Story, I thought it would be layered with mystery, fantasy, awe and wonder. Instead it is layered with a scarry depressing raunchy tooth fairy. The story was anything but interesting and was a crude and tasteless venture of writing. I didn't care about the characters and was not happy to be in their presense. If I sound too harsh, that's because the taste left in my mouth after reading this book really tastes terrible and this is my way of saying.......... Y U C KKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

Summary: Simply Amazing!
Review: Graham Joyce is one of those authors that will always be remembered, and that tend to have a number of good books. That factor is definately true! I enjoyed "The tooth Fairy" immensly. The book is about a boy named Sam and his friends. Sam has a number of encounters with a figment of his imagination, The Tooth Fairy. The so-called 'tooth fairy' is not your ordianry leave-a-quarter-under-your-pillow sort of a fairy. More like a, leave-a-nightmare-for-the-rest-of-your-life sort of fairy. This imagantive and erotic fairy taunts Sam in every way possible, and provokes him ever more so, sexually. No one but Sam can see the tooth fairy, but the accidents and circumstances that occur are the tooth fairy's signatures. Around the end of the book, Sam accepts the tooth fairy more and more until he finally falls into her. Once that is done, he can no longer see her. This book is perfect if you want an eerie sort of atmosphere and a book that will make you think phycologocally. You start to wonder if the tooth fairy is actually real or just a figment of an insane boy. Yet at times, there can be proof that the tooth fairy is real, because of the 'accidents' that she thinks up. This is a book I think any mature individual will appreciate. I say mature because this book does contain quite a bit of sexuality and crude language.

Summary: Graham Joyce is always a joy!
Review: Graham Joyce is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors to refer people to. His novels are written intellegently, with a creepy edge, yet characters who are real enough to seem everyday and not extraordinary even though they experience extraordinary circumstances. The Tooth Fairy is a great starting novel if you have never read any of his works before. Although some of the sexual themes in this book might be a bit mature for younger readers, the ideas of this lovely coming of age tale are almost ageless. Needless to say a high recommendation to take the time to read it.

Summary: Graham Joyce's Tooth Fairy- real or hormonal hallucination
Review: Graham Joyce's Tooth Fairy is an interesting read for most of the book. He creates a boy's world where the Tooth Fairy has claws, teeth, and sexual organs. It seems to be left up to the reader to decide whether or not the Tooth Fairy actually exists or appears as hallucinations as the result of hormonal imbalance due to the onset of puberty to a young boy. The Tooth Fairy is linked to the power of the natural world represented by a pond and hungry pike. Mystery, magic, puberty, masturbation fantasies, form a powerful force that fights for independent life as maturity and reality make a man of the boy and development replaces the wild magic of the woods.

Summary: Joyce's sexually-psychological tale is incredible
Review: Graham Joyce's TOOTH FAIRY is by far one of the decade's best novels. His mixture of a boy coming to age with puberty and having a gastly and at times beautiful strange figure keep popping up is fantastic.
Rating:
Summary: Powerful prose, not easily forgotten.
Review: Grotesque, beautiful, repulsive, compelling, hilarious, tragic, magical and very very erotic! Rarely have I read a book that provokes so many conflicting emotions. The angst of growing pains and awakening sexuality is very skillfully crafted and will, no doubt, strike a chord of recognition with many readers. The enigmatic character of the Tooth Fairy will haunt you long after the final page. A minor masterpiece.

Summary: With teeth
Review: I found Graham Joyce's writing simply gorgeous in its darkness and lush imagery. The story, however, felt unfocused. As I delved deeper into the novel, it seemed to become more and more prurient and distasteful, and all without a point. I did stop halfway through, so the final pages might have had something that tied it all together, but I just found that I didn't care about any of the characters. None were likeable, and the strange Tooth Fairy creature just didn't interest me enough to continue. I might pick up another of Joyce's books later though because his writing is magnificent.
