This review is from: Maybe I'll Call Anna (Paperback)

I have read all of Spencer's other books except for Irrational fears. "Maybe I'll Call Anna" was as fantastic as the others. It doesn't have any fantasy/horror elements like "Zod Wallop" or "Resume With Monsters" but it has genuine characters that come to life just like the other books and a killer plot that wont let you put the book down. If you like his other works read this one.

Wish he would write more books. I discovered him in the pages of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine and ran right out and got Resume With Monsters and Zod Wallop. Loved them both then read Irrational Fears, my favorite of his. Picked up his short story collection The Return of Count Electric and throughly enjoyed it also. I waited several years for this one, hoping to find it on a bookstore shelf. Finally ordered it from Amazon.

You can see a lot of the elements here that he reused and refined in later novels. Very captivating characters and storyline.

One personal judgement: I identify with the main characters in a book while reading and if I don't like any of them, usually do not enjoy the book or stop reading it. For me the mark of an excellent writer is when I don't personally like any of the characters and still want to know what happens to them. Mr. Spencer. Please don't stop writing or resume if you have stopped!

2.0 out of 5 stars An early work, not worthy of his later books, June 13, 2009

I'm sure it got better, but the first 50 pages bored me to tears and I just put it down.
