Title: A Good, Long Read
Product review: One of the best aspects of The Midnight Hour is that it gets more interesting the farther into it you get.While some horror novels start strong and then quickly become devoid of interesting story, The Midnight Tour does the opposite.The first act is by far the weakest and, despite the fact that the ending unravels a little bit - I won't reveal anything - The Midnight Hour is a surprisingly good read.The one thing that Laymon does with his characters that is annoying is that he over-characterizes them, leaving little to the imagination. While subtlety is not rampant in pop horror, this novel would have benefited from more mystery.I do think it is worth the time to read, however, and I recommend it to anyone whose Stephen King collection is almost worn out.
