Good Book, Great Ending
I started reading Laymons books when I was at Waterstones one day and was looking at the Stephen King books for one I hadn't read - and discovered that there was none! So I picked up one of Richard Laymons books - the island - and thought Id give it a try. Ever since then I have been a huge fan of Laymon. This is my sixth Laymon book and I have yet to read one that I didnt enjoy (or one that I was able to put down either). This is not one of his better books in my opinion but it won a Bram Stoker award (whatever that is) so it must appeal to most people. It is more of a teen adventure story because the "horror" does not really start until they arrive at the Traveling Vampire Show in the last 100 pages. As I say, not his best book but Laymons' worst (which I'm not saying this book is) is still better than any other authers' best.

Absolutely superb!
I could not put this book down.I think I read it in a couple of hours. The interlinking between the characters is unsurpassable and the twist at the end was an excellent finale. I would definately recommend this book to any Laymon/horror fans out there in the world.
