This review is from: Blackbriar (Library Binding)
Blackbriar is one of the best books I have ever read. I picked it up in the 4th grade and was totally blown away by the mystery and intregue. Needless to say, ever since I finished reading it I have looked for it non-stop for years. The skilled way that it is written, the dark foreshadow and evil overtone of the whole thing just made me want to turn pages all night long. It is the reason that I started to enjoy reading as much as I do now and has influenced my taste in the books that I do read to this day. Since it was the 4th grade when I read it the fine details escape me, but the general impression will live forever. The old house and the names carved into the door. The midnigt bonfire ceremony. It all ties together to make a excellent dark novel in which even the masters like Stephen King and Chris Carter would be proud to have attached to their correspondence.

One of the Best Ever,

This review is from: Blackbriar (Paperback)
I have to agree with the other reviewers, I read this book when I was in Junior High (some 20 years ago) and I still remember it. It is a favorite of mine and still gives me chills late at night!
It is hard to know what is the character's imagination and what is really happening, and when the Reader finds out what is really going the scare intensifies instead of lessening! I have been searching for this book forever and cannot wait until I get it and can read it again! It will never leave my collection again.

I'm 33 and I STILL remember this book 20 years later. I enjoyed reading the other reviews to reaquaint myself with the plot (of which I had absolutely No memory, but hey, it was 20 years ago). What I did remember was the atmosphere. This story is so well done it stays with you. A phenomenal read!
