5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars for Demonic Terror, November 13, 2007

This review is from: Son of the Endless Night (Paperback)

Note: Some immature Mormon has been slamming my reviews because I wrote some negative reviews of books attempting to defend the Book of Mormon.

So your "helpful" votes are greatly appreciated. A short review is not necessarily a bad review if it leads you to a great novel. I've just noted the general theme. Thanks

This is one of the best horror-mysteries that I have ever read. I hate to tell too much--read a longer review after you read the novel, but there are a couple scenes in this great murder mystery that I have to mention. The man is skiing down hill at night, and skiing up the hill is another skier (coming fast--weird and scary).

The scene of the Gospel Bus (fighting evil) with a big cross on the front is another classic.

Let me quote the Los Angeles Times: "Risky your own sanity--mine was in tatters long before I finished."

Now here are two more great horror stories. These have a coming-of-age and mystery theme, and in my mind, they are the tops. I hope you find something is my little review that makes it worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clever Demonic Story, November 20, 2001

This review is from: Son of the Endless Night (Hardcover)

This is my first novel by John farris I read. I did see The Fury years earlier,so I decided to try reading one of his novels. I can honestly say it was a fun read, lots of gore and physical descriptions of the evil events. I must also add that Farris does like to put in alot of sex, and can be pornographic at times, I didn't expect it from a horror novel, but what the heck it was still fun. If you liked THE EXORCIST This would have been a worthy companion to that story.
IN A NUTSHELL: Guy becomes possessed by a ruthless spirit, guy gets arrested and goes to court for murder. Now the spirit wants to prove in court that he legally exsists. How you ask? By putting on a "Demonic Show" for the Jury. This is when it gets wild, thats all I'll say. ENJOY!

5.0 out of 5 stars I want more!, January 13, 2003

This review is from: Son of the Endless Night (Hardcover)

I've never read many books outside the ones that were mandatory to read in my high school. I picked "Son of the Endless Night" up out of a local library when I decided to buy a few books to try and get into reading. And I must say that this book did exactly that. Now, I just dont know what other catagories of books to try and read except for "Horror", for John Farris's descriptive detail in the interesting relations of Good vs. Evil had to be, in my opinion, one of the all time greatest.
