Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid!, January 17, 2006
This review is from: Jason X 4: Death Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm trying to find the words to describe this book, awful, horrible, and laughable....those come close. This was by far the worst book in the series of Jason X and Friday the 13th books. For the most part the two series have been good, but this installment in the Jason X series has certainly turned me off from reading further entries into this series. Jump over the Friday the 13th books, they're by far better. The Jason X movie was a somewhat interesting concept that has been completely run into the ground by these books. I'd go into the plot and give a synopsis, but there was no intergring plot and the synopsis is as follows: this book is bad. Not the 80's "bad" is cool, but the practical "bad" as in this book just plain sucks.

Absolute Garbage, March 5, 2006
This review is from: Jason X 4: Death Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
I love all things even half-related to Friday the 13th, and have so far enjoyed the "Jason X" series of books, but this was the absolute worst book I have even read. I'll spare you the details, but will tell you this: Stay away from this drivel at all costs.

Not for Jason purists - this is an intellectual horror story!, July 3, 2006
This review is from: Jason X 4: Death Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're looking for just slasher gore and the usual horror-movie thrill, you're not going to like this book - that's what I gather from reading other reviews. If, on the other hand, you like a Dickens-esque story frame, with lots of character description and background, leading up to the action and story's conclusion, the plot and storyline become quickly apparent. Even better if you can pick up on, and like, the author's quirky ancedotes and allusions to time periods both past and present. This is an intellectual horror story, so if slasher gore is solely what you crave, I suggest you look elsewhere. If you have the mind to be pleasantly surprised by this author's clever turn of phrase and semi-autobiographical write-ins, then you'll find this story to be right up your alley. I found it be be quite enjoyable and well worth my time to read.
