5.0 out of 5 stars WiZrD is GrEaT!, January 4, 2005

By 

A Reader (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wizrd (School & Library Binding)

From the title "WiZrD", I assumed I would be reading a fantasy book. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this is a horror novel set in modern day Arizona, includes a cast of humans (alive, dead, and undead), and incorporates colorful, actual legends from both the Navaho and Anasazi cultures. The book gave me many of the positive impressions I had while reading "It" by Stephen King, e.g., teenagers battling supernatural forces, characters you care about, and some spine-tingling imagery. However, unlike "It", "WiZrD" builds, from the start, to a thoroughly fitting and imaginative ending. Zell has a real talent for creating a large cast of characters, each of whom are unique, each fitting like a puzzle piece into the overall story, and each contributing to the eerie climax. In general, I was very impressed with this book and highly recommend it. Zell shows great storytelling skills that I hope will only improve in his next work.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book you haven't read!, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Wizrd (Wizard) (Mass Market Paperback)

The story was suspensful and fun. The characters were well defined and the surroundings and events were very well described. I could taste the warm, Indian bread! I seriously could not put the book down. I truly enjoyed this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT!!!, October 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Wizrd (Wizard) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am very choosey when it comes to horror books and usually only read the big names (Stephen King, Clive Barker...), but when i picked this up i couldn't put it down. His style of writing, the characters, the plot and the slow building horror in this book make it, in my view, unmissable.
