Customer Reviews

Interesting no chapter concept

I found this book really good. Some parts were strange cuz I couldn't figure out where they were doing the things they were doing. When people or things pass on it is like a sliding from this plain to the plain of the forever sleeping. Very good book 4 strong stars.

THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES

THIS IS FARRIS' MOST OFFBEAT WORK,AND,WHILE NOT A TOTAL SUCCESS, IT DOES PROVE HES BEST AT HORROR AND SUSPENSE.THE SCENES WITH THE AXEMAN ARE EXCELLENT,WHILE THE REST OF THE BOOK COMES ACROSS AS EITHER POINTLESS,SURREAL OR DULL.BUT......FARRIS DOES COME THROUGH WITH THE VILLAIN,AND PROVIDES SOME OF THE GORIEST SCENES HES EVER DONE..........THE SOMETIMES CONFUSING PROSE KNOCKS ONE STAR OFF,BUT IVE READ ALL HIS WORKS,AND WHILE I WONT SAY ITS HIS BEST,ITS RIGHT UP THERE WITH''WHEN MICHAEL CALLS'' AND MY FAVORITE,''SHARP PRACTICE''..........IF YOU LIKE JOHN FARRIS[WHO IS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS STEPHEN KING]......OR LIKE GORE IN THE MICHAEL SLADE STYLE, THAN THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU..........
