2.0 out of 5 stars
the weakest book in the rook series.,
By
This review is from: Rook (Bk. 1) (Hardcover)
My intro to GRAHAM MASTERTON and the ROOK series was SNOWMAN,a book I enjoyed quite a bit and it made me want to read the other books in the ROOK series. So far, I've read SWIMMER, ROOK and THE TERROR and ROOK is easily my least favorite so far. I enjoyed the book, but it really does have some major flaws. First of all, this SMOKE spirit is kind of stupid..and annoying. He doesn't want JIM ROOK to tell any- body about him, yet he shows up in his classroom and taunts him there, right in front of the students. I mean, these kids may not be too bright, but anybody would figure out that ROOK wasn't merely talking to himself! I think the reason MASTERTON wrote it this way was so ROOK's students could get involved more in the story! I also think the identity of the killer is revealed too soon in the book; indeed' it's actually revealed on the front flap of the book and this takes away from any suspense! JIM ROOK seems to accept very quickly that he can see ghosts and spirits! There are other minor flaws, also. I did enjoy the book and there are some gruesome things that go on during the story, but this series got much better, especially with THE TERROR, which I just got through reading and is now my favorite book of the series. |
