5.0 out of 5 stars
A Thought-Provoking Novel
This is one of Straub's better works. It's not horror but it does touch on the emotional horror of relationships and families. It's really well done, one of those plots that makes you stop and think. What's really important in your life? If you like the author's other books you'll like this one.

Avoid it at all costs!!!
I love the books of Peter Straub, he is the best stylist and of the best writers of contemporary horror-fiction, BUT this early work of him is mind-numbingly boring. As I said before: Avoid it at all costs and try one of his later books

A Must Read!,
This review is from: Under Venus (Paperback)
I love Peter Straub and this book only demonstrates his early talent. It's not really horror but it's still Straub at his best. The characters and plot are very complex and the prose is energetic and just pulls you along. I loved the way the family dynamics were played out and the way the characters were presented. If you haven't read this early book by Straub you're really missing out!
