“This wasn't bad, but it wasn't as funny as I'd hoped.”
“This was my second Peter Straub novel -- Shadowkland crushed all my hopes of ever being a writer myself, because he is so much better than I could ever be, and this one converted me for life to reading everything he publishes. Wonderful mystery set on a Caribbean island with rich white people living alongside impoverished "natives" that somehow reminded me irresistably of Grosse Pointe.”
“Utterly chilling, especially because you know things have escalated unbelievably from the point when this book was irst published.”
“For a book everyone's read and half of the world has told me to read, this is nuthin' special.”
“This isn't my favorite although I love Peter Straub. It just seemed a little faster than I could follow, somehow.”
“This one was OK, but it didn't do that much for me, honestly. Not memorable.”
“Wonderful collection of macabre, hilarious Gahan Wilson cartoons. Not to be missed.”
“Super motivational, readable, and sensible weight-loss guide. Injects badly-needed humor into the grim subject of exercise and dieting. All American women should own a copy of this one.”
“This book takes you all the way through Western civilization through its artworks and architecture. I know how boring that sounds but it's a wonderful read! Talks about how different art forms through time reflect the changing mindsets of the artists and their patrons. Gives you a glimpse into how much people have changed -- and not changed -- since the time of the Vikings.”
“Never mind the four hankies; you'll need a towel to cry into while you're reading this one. This is an account of the 1944 Hartford, CT circus fire that killed 168 people, the same number that died in the Oklahoma City bombing. It uncovers the identity of the unclaimed little girl I always knew as "Little Miss Nobody" and gives you the results of the author's investagation into what they considered an arson. VERY hard to put down.”
