IT, King's masterpeice. Advantages: Details prose, emotional and terrifyingly good. Disadvantages: May be a bit too long for some readers. ...works in the genre. It is a long book, probably the longest next to The Stand but it is worth every page, so may not be a very good recommendation for all readers. Regardless of how many King book you have read in the past, IT will surely blow you away. For all Horror fans in general Stephen King’s IT, truly is a masterpiece.

A Horrific Masterpiece Advantages: Scary, tense, and brilliant Disadvantages: None Being the first book I read from this author, I didn't quite know what to expect. As it turned out, "Island" blew me away. Right from the very fist sentance to the climactic ending, this book is very hard to put down. The story is set (as the name suggests) on an Island. A family have gone there for a little holiday, when all of a sudden they find themselves stranded. Things then go from bad to worse, as the family discover that they are not alone; ... ...them out one by one ... The book is written in first person narrative, and is in the style of a diary kept by the main charactor, Rupert. One of the reasons for this is the very interesting plot twist at the end of the book ... A great read and one of the best books I have read in a long time. Richard Laymon is an incredible author! ... Arbobug 12.04.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Island - Richard Laymon	Would you read it again?

Yawn Advantages: Physcological, scary on a different level Disadvantages: Boring, not truly terrifying Yawn. Contrary to apparently popular belief this book, in my opinion, was actually pretty boring. The book revolves around the protagonist who finds it increasingly difficult to sleep since the passing of his wife (hence the title). He begins seeing stranger and stranger things, eventually passing into new dimensions and meeting otherworldly beings. I don't know. Its a hard book to judge. On the plus side the book is deeply physchological and considers ... ...of the scenes (for wont of a better word) can be truly penetrating and scary; but not in conventional horror style. The story is obviously well constructed and has an underlying moral meaning. On the other hand however the story can be at times confusing, and vague. In addition, although it pains me to say it I found this book pretty boring at times, and it seemed an effort, not a pleasure, to read. Some of the ideas are a little far fetched and ... dnpttrsn 20.10.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Insomnia - Stephen King	Would you read it again?

You wont want to read this in the dark........ Advantages: A bit of suspense and thriller Disadvantages: Poorly written and a but far fetched sometimes ...town and gets a job in the local Library. She feels her life is very mundane and boring and she will not be able to meet new people but then an envelope appears on her desk in the library with her name on it. She opens it to find $50 and a note with a clue which leads her upstairs to a book where she finds another envelope with a note but this time with $100. The notes are signed MOG (Master of Games) and each note has another clue which leads her ... ...in order to get the next envelope, each containing twice as much money as before. I started off really enjoying this book and thought the suspense was quite good and 'where will she be sent and what will she have to do next?' but then I thought the book started to get a little far fetched. First of all she is being sent to stranger and stranger places and being asked to do horrible things (such as walk into an abandoned house, go upstairs to an ...

Anita Blake - vampire hunter/ slapper! Advantages: About vampires. Disadvantages: Bit too much sex. The book I will now review is "Incubus dreams - an Anita Blake vampire hunter novel", by Laurell K Hamilton. I have to truthful, I had never heard of this author or any of her books before. I have always been a big fan of anything "vampire", from the erotic tale of Bram Stoker through to the downright gruesome of John Carpenters vampires, I have not , however tried reading about them. I had intended on starting with Anne Rice's offering when I ... ...As soon as I read "vampire hunter" on the front cover, my imagination had spiked, so knew I had to have it. When purchasing this book I hadn't realised this is one of a great many books in a series, so was a little worried I wouldn't know what the hell was going on, luckily it didn't take too long to get the jist of what had happened previously. ~~~~~~ THE PLOT ~~~~~~ Anita Blake (the main female character), is a necromancer, which in layman's ... sarahbarrow 14.04.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Incubus Dreams - Laurell K.
