crystalramsumair says: Es el Primer libro que leo de Joe Hill,es bueno pero no tan bueno como los demás dicen,una historia que te atrapa desde el principio,con un asesino en serie poco común y una protagonista que parece una antiheroe y una trama paranormal bien creada,pero no se porque,el libro se vuelve en algunos momentos bastante pesado ya que la historia no avanza y en cambio es bastante repetitiva,donde a veces la protagonista me desesperaba con su carácter,me parece que el libro es bastante largo para lo que deveria ser,este libro para mi si fuera de unas 500 hojas estaría excelente,aun así el libro me gusto. John says: I thought this was a horror before going in and that expectation spoiled me. It's not really horror - I see goodreads summary calls it a supernatural thriller and that's what it is. It is good though. The first half feels like early Stephen King (but lacking the horror). The plot feels like a Dean Koontz story including the child with supernatural powers, destiny/fa...te to take on the bad guy and extended violent chase (but lacking the warmth or human-ness of the protagonists).I didn't like Vic's fate - while I get it, it doesn't gel with the Dean Koontz style story (it does with the Stephen King style). The ending, while giving some denouncement to the surviving characters, seems to open a big plot hole to me too, which left it a little bitter-sweet.The pacing is a little odd too, much of the middle book I wanted to skip through. I liked the interesting cut at the end of the chapters, but it felt like later to have been just an interesting writing trick that didn't mean anything about the story or characters.MoreLessShow More Show Less
Outstanding! Great ideas within ideas. Original too. Not your average vampire book, if you can even call it that. I read quite a bit and found I had a hard time putting this one down even to sleep or prepare meals. Characters were very well developed. Everyone can see themselves as someone or someone they know in this book. We all just want that perfection we see on television. Be careful what you wish for.

Really worth the read. I saw a lot of myself in Vic. I can't remember the last time I read a book so fast. Was truly sorry when it was over. I don't usually read books again. But this is different. I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. 10/10

It got a bit wordy at the end but it was worth the read. Great imagination and some twisted good horror.

This sound like a book that hopefully satisfy my hunger for hair raising, all of the sudden child avalanching down my back.
