Negative Positive
Title: The Throat by Peter Straub
Review: DON'T LISTEN TO THESE OTHER REVIEWS. Because I did. After achingly sitting through "Koko" and "Mystery," I questioned whether I should read The Throat. I looked it up on here, and it got good reviews. Definitely not worth the time. I'm at the point where I've given this author all I can, and I might give up on him. Straub weaves too much events, information, and characters for you to even care about what's going on. The "killer" could be anyone in the story, or perhaps, how's this: nobody in the story. Booooring... and this was the LONGEST of the trilogy. Most of the action happens "off-screen" so to say, and your entire time reading is spent trying to piece informatin together. Try an author like Stephen King or Dean Koontz, who can be intellectual but also ENTERTAIN. The only book I've read by Straub so far that was bearable was the one he wrote with Stephen King.. "The Talisman." (a great book--one of the best)
Is the review positive or negative?
