2.0 out of 5 stars This book was not to my taste. Other People might enjoy it., January 29, 2010

This review is from: Created by (Hardcover)

I found the plot of this book predictable and the character's felt fake. The format, which kept switching from script, to character, to real life, was extremely annoying and distracted from the story. Additionally, it wasn't really very thrilling or scary. I wouldn't bother reading this again.

4.0 out of 5 stars I think it was kinda short, March 23, 2005

This review is from: Created By (Hardcover)

Created By is really a good book over all. It reads like its a movie script. I was enthralled by the action sequences and it helped me decide what book to read next. I would also recommend reading The Dark Half by Stephen King. One thing I did notice though is that Richard Christian Matheson seems to have borrowed the little detail of having no lines on the palm side of the main character's hands.

1.0 out of 5 stars TV OR NOT TV, December 24, 2002

This review is from: Created By (Paperback)

In "Created By," Matheson spares no one his cycnicism and obvious disdain for the television industry. The idea of a t.v. show with gratuitous sex, nudity, and violence was something unusual when the book was written, but now in the new millennium, we're getting so much of it, we've become numb to it. Matheson's work is so out of sync with itself, vaunting different styles, making all the characters as unlikeable as possible and coming up with an ending that truly negates the entire premise. Psychobabble nonsense.
