Great book, January 9, 2006
This review is from: WHISPER OF DEATH (Paperback)
I read this when I was in middle school and absolutely loved it. I admit I was a little young for the mature subject matter but he wrote it brilliantly. It has been stuck in my head to this day and I am actually buying it to read again.
I would recommend this book.

Creepy, December 13, 2003

This review is from: WHISPER OF DEATH (Paperback)
For a teenage potboiler, this bbok is rather creepy. Five teenagers inexplicably find themselves in a dead, abandoned world; the only common thread linking them is their connection to a dead girl. They soon find themselves being killed off in ways so imaginatively gruseome as to be worthy of an Italian horor film. The only drawback is the out-of-date moralizing: Roxanne had an abortion, so she must die! Otherwise highly entertaining.

They woke up in a dead world . . ., June 26, 2000

This review is from: WHISPER OF DEATH (Paperback)
I read this book in day because I could not put it down. It draws you in the first sentence, and you cannot give it up.
Roxanne and her boyfriend Pepper had a slight problem-Rox was pregnant. But in the middle of her abortion, before the actual surgery, Rox gets up and leaves. One the way home, she sees a mysterious figure in the sun, who disappears when Rox turns. She pays no attention to it; its just a hitchhiker, right? But at home, Pepper and Rox discover an empty town; they call people in other places in the world-no one. They find three other teenagers; Leslie, the perfect girl, Helter, the tough guy and the class brain, someone else whose name I can't remember. They are all directly or indirectly involved with Betty Sue McCormack, the odd girl who doused herself with gasoline and set herself on fire. They find Betty Sue's diary, which reveals secrets the people in the group had, secrets which shouldn't have been revealed . . . Then there's the stories; stories which have their names in them-if the names are slightly different. They are stories of death, pain. Soon, they begin to wonder who . . . or what Betty Sue really was.
Definitely read this. It is so great, and it will leave you going "wow".
