Caught this today! I have one more ray ahead of this, but will get to it very soon, and journal when I've finished.
Thanks MsPooh! Looks like a good, suspensful read.

Well...this was a twisted, macabre little page-turner of a phycho-thriller!! A very suspensful and intivative storyline, definately worth the read.
Actually, Straub is not one of my favorite writers in this genre(I'm more of a King/Koontz/Laymon kinda gal!), but after reading this book, I may just have to give him another chance...I believe I still have "Mystery" somewhere on my shelves!
Thanks so much, MsPooh, for sharing this delightful tale! It will be making its way to Meshe in Georgia by Monday, 12/22.

Came in the mail today, as did another bookring book. Why do all the books have to arrive at the same time. I also have two other bookring books to send on their way. Oh well, so many books so little time. Hopefully I can get to all of them during my holiday vacation. My family will just have to understand that I have books begging to be read!
I didn't finish this one. I just couldn't seem to get into it. After 120 pages I finally gave up. Mailed out today to Butlin.
I received this a little bit ago and forgot to journal. Sorry!!! Will start soon. Have a few in front of this one.
Sorry it took so long to finish this one, but it definitely dragged at parts. At the end it picked up so I sped right through it. It's not one of my favorites by him. I had to force myself through most of it. As soon as I hear back from Kalipriestess, it will be on its way.
Got this book in the mail a couple of days ago. I will read and send on it's way shortly!!!
This was my first Peter Straub book. It had lots of twists and turns but dragged in some spots. I will have to look up more books by this author to see if he is as good as other mystery/thriller authors that I read!!!
Will send this on its way once I get Soraidh's mailing info.

Sorry this journal entry is so long in coming but I wanted to give the book a fair shake... okay and I forgot I had the book for a few days. Sorry!
I can't do it. I've picked it up and read it, even managed to make it to page 100 but I can't finish the book. It's just not grabbing me. In fact, I went and read the end of it just to appease my curiosity and even that didn't make me want to finish the rest of it.
Sending it off to talkland as soon as I have a few more funds (probably early September when loans come in).
