Title: A great beach read
Product review: This is the fourth book by Laymon that I have read, and it is the only one I can recommend, and I recommend it highly. "Island" is a fast, fun read that any reader of horror or thrillers will enjoy. Quick, funny and thrilling, "Island" never tries to be anything but an adolescent boy's horny fantasy come true. No, it's not great literature, but once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. Fans of Scott Smith's "The Ruins" will find out what that book could have been if it hadn't taken itself waaaaaaaaay too seriously. Laymon is not everyone's cup of tea, and it took me four books to find out why I have read so many positive reviews of him over the years, but "Island" has convinced me to read more of his books. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
