3.0 out of 5 stars UNIQUE BUT VAGUE ENDING., February 14, 2002

By 

Russ Haworth - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dead Love (Mass Market Paperback)

Overall I enjoyed this book, but the ending is where I had problems, very vague and it just fizzled out. Maybe I just didn't get what the author was trying to say, and I could see two possible ways the story could end. Not distinct enough. I did like Sean MacDonald and Pamela and I could feel their pain and frustration over the ghost. Donald Beman has a strong writing style and I would definitely read more of his books. Not a perfect book, but still enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lost love's hate reaches out from beyond the grave., March 11, 2002

This review is from: Dead Love (Mass Market Paperback)

Horror writer Sean MacDonald comes to regret accepting an invite to return to his hometown for a book signing at the local library. Seems the spirit of his first love is insanely jealous and is possessing and killing any and all that have captured Sean's interest. Beman's story, despite some narrative wooziness (characters fade in and out of focus, events unfold unevenly) that may or may not be intentional (its like a discomforting nightmare), is tight and easy to read. Each chapter ends on a cliffhanger that keeps the urge to turn the pages and find out what happens next strong. The only downside is that the book is more divertingly creepy than out and out scary. Still I'd recommend it to ghost story fans looking for something a little surreal to read over a long, lazy weekend (which is just how I read it).

1.0 out of 5 stars When you're stuck in an airport, you take what you can get, February 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Dead Love (Mass Market Paperback)

And with this book, you won't get much. It is neither suspenseful nor frightening and after you wade through it you still won't know what happened or why.

If you find yourself stuck in an airport with nothing but a sad selection of paperbacks to choose from...if this looks like your best bet, then stick to magazines.
