Over de Auteur

Robert R. McCammon is a popular horror fiction writer. He was born in 1952 in Birmingham, Alabama and attended the University of Alabama. After college he spent a number of years working in advertising for bookstores in Birmingham, where he still lives. McCammon's first novel, "Baal," was published toon meer in 1978. He quickly joined the group of horror writers that includes Stephen King, Dean R. Koontz, and Anne Rice, who write suspenseful stories with modern-day settings. He has published over two dozen books to date. With the publication of "Boy's Life" in 1991, McCammon left behind the horror genre, noting that he finds real life horrifying enough these days. While there are some aspects of the supernatural in "Boy's Life," it is more a story of growing up in a small Southern town. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

this book is amazing. has so many emotional moments with the light hearted wholesome and the dark and depressing moments that are written beautiful and the over all mysteriory was really cool and fascinating. lots of unique characters that were likeable and had some quirky charms that reminds me of something from Twin Peaks. there was also a few funny parts to that fit well with the story and time period.

i always heard amazing things about this book from many and i can agree with them that it did not disappoint.even though this is my first Robert McCammon i can safely say this is a good starting point and is easy to recommend to most who love the coming of age tale of growing up in a small town in the south in the early 60's… (meer)

While I persevered until the end, there were so many things about this story that bugged me that I almost gave up on it. Anachronisms, unlikely coincidences, dei ex machina, an infuriatingly short-sighted main character, etc.
[Audiobook note: Good enough narrator, though.]

This was an amazing book that definitely took you for a ride, however it was a difficult read. The visuals are very graphic and the raw intensity of emotions were hard to stomach. It was definitely uncomfortable, and in reality it was supposed to be. This is a book about human nature placed in horrific circumstances. You see the best and the worst in the characters and often find yourself wondering if you had everything stripped from you, what choices would you make? Give it a read!
