Title: More Pulp Than Poetry
Review: After all the raves for Simmons' supposedly finely crafted prose, I expected something quite poetic--ala Rushdie. But Simmons' style is a lot closer to Elmore Leonard than I expected. More pulp than poetry. Frankly, I found his writing pedestrian. If you consider the unimaginative M. Night Shyamalan to be an engaging director of horror films, Simmons might bring the night terror you're looking for.
