5.0 out of 5 stars Chilling....., December 7, 2002

You'll never think of Central Park the same again......

Through a series of circumstances, an adult black mamba, the deadliest snake in the world, becomes lose in Central Park in New York City.

The resulting suspence is chilling. The plot slithers forward, and then twists and strikes repeatedly -- this could be the definition of "couldn't-put-it-down."

My wife read this for the first time, in one sitting, AFTER our first trip to New York City, and even though we were back home, it still scared her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mamba Mia!, September 25, 2006

This review is from: The snake (Hardcover)

I enjoy a good thriller and would have considered this to be one of the better ones except for one thing - I'M TERRIFIED OF SNAKES! That fact alone makes this one of the best and most terrifying novels I have ever read. It's also one of the few that I simply had to read in one sitting. I really wasn't sure that if I put it down I'd be able to pick it up again. It's that good. And if you want to know just how bad the mamba's reputation is, I have a friend who lived for some years in Africa, and he wouldn't even touch the book. Even if you don't mind snakes, this one will get to you.

Excellent book; a quick read. Would have been better if there had been more scenes from the snake's point of view.
