(6 stars) The very best book written by mankind?

Wow! Maniac is so good! I'd never read an entire book before I read Maniac but it only took me one single night to read it all. I read it in english although english is not my native language. The story is awesome and what an intelligent book this is, I can't imagine how smart John Peel must be to write such a great book. Maniac has the the perfect setup. The only chapter in the book that wasn't a ***** one was the chapter in which Vincent met the aliens, because it made no sense, however if you don't have read Maniac yet it's now time to do so. Maniac gives you a lot of thinking and it might change your life!

A book worth reading

This author gives a new meaning to the word "dream". The way that he put his characters in somewhat twisted situations give the whole story a feel of sci-fi worthy for kids. I loved it! It won't bore your imagination.

The best book I've ever read.

2/17/98 I read this book last year. When I looked at it, I was unsure whether to buy it or not. After I read it, I wondered why I ever doubted! "Maniac" is well-written and full of interesting facts and fiction. The story includes so much information, it might as well could have happened! If you read this book, you will not be disappointed. The book has you in suspense and it doesn't let go until the very end. The book also discretely suggests some very interesting and thought provoking reading material.
