5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jim-Jams (Mass Market Paperback)
The Jimjams is an awesome scifi horror novel. I honestly didn't expect much, but this reeled me in with the gruesome descriptions and sudden twist on the characters. Little is explained outright, and you get the chilling answers the more you read. It's a sinister, macabre novel that takes the cliched insects-taking-over-the-world theme and turns it back into raw meat. I like it the more I think about it.Definitely a sick novel though, filled with violence and wierd sexual stuff, which makes the novel even more creepier, rather than detracting from it. Overall, a frightening plunge into everyone's worst fears, that is both straight-forward but with excellent little hints dropped throughout the story, filled with everday people with everyday problems. It's entirely worthy of a sequel.

Very good,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jim-Jams (Mass Market Paperback)
The actual rating is pretty close to a 5, but I felt that Mr. Green's later work Dry Skull Dreams was superior. Still, Jim Jams is a beautifully surreal,grittily unsentimental novel about nothing more than simple evolution...in this case the first arrival on Earth of a `superior' insect-based alien race and the beginning of the human race's sublimation into it. Because Green doesn't indulge in typical expository sequences that explain developments in simple terms - a la King or Koontz - the average reader may find him hard to get. Reminiscent of early Clive Barker in its explicitness:not for the faint of heart.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Very surreal little horror gem,
By "no6km" (Massachusetts USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jim-Jams (Mass Market Paperback)
Michael Green's the Jim Jams is a surreal and entertaining novel.His descriptions of the takeover of the resort are positively unsettling.Uncovers the fears that all of us share in one form or another of the unknown.Although I agree with one of the previous reviewers that Green's Dry Skull Dreams is a superior novel to this one regardless what my friend that gave me the two books thinks, nonetheless I enjoyed this work immensely and recommend it to anyone with a taste for creepy horror books.
