Negative Positive
Title: disturbing..., and not in a good way
Review: I couldn't find a way to like this book. I usually love an anything with a combo of creepy houses and mysterious characters, sex and violence don't offend me, but I found nothing in this book that worked. I didn't like the mother, the daughter, or even the "hero" of this book. Seriously, NO real mother would leave her daughter's side for one moment when faced with the situation that these people were in much have a sexual relationship with a stranger. Trust me, I rarely get shocked or offended, but this story pissed me off. And the lame and stupid name fo the "monster"...."Xanadu"....stupid,stupid,stupid. What really got me was the detail Laymon went to in the graphic detail about the rape and early compliance that the young girl had with her captor. Personally I think Laymon wrote a few of his own fantasies and tried to pass it off as creative writing. I did something with this book is something I have never ever done in my life. I THREW IT AWAY.
Is the review positive or negative?
