I've been reading outside my comfort zone lately, and this book is a very big example of that. This is a horror book, plain and simple-not suspense with some horror elements (which I semi-regularly once a year will read), but horror, scary, nightmarish, horror. I'm not sure what possessed me to read this, but it was excellent. There's some minor typos/grammatical errors, but not anything more than a big-publishing house might also miss. There's a lot of characters, and the novel moves very quickly so most of the characters you don't get to know terribly well, but the author does a fantastic job of letting you get to know each individual very quickly, in a short time, so you feel for each individual.
The pace is very quick moving, the gore is extreme-and the author Scott goes way far with the gore and the blood and the guts. I think he went TOO far, honestly, but again, I don't normally normally read this genre so perhaps the gore is typical.
The book also takes place in 1984, so if you are a child of the 80's, like me, you'll enjoy some of the cultural references.
Overall, the book was just so well done. If you are a fan of graphic horror, you'll love this.
(If you are new to my reviews and are wondering why I'm raving about the book, yet I'm not giving a five star review, I very seldom give 5 star reviews, and I only give them when I really "fall in love" with the characters, and I didn't in this book)
