Search - The House

I did like this book. It does have an arguably happy ending, which I like. But by the end, I was getting rather tired of the little monster girl and the repetitive nightgown-lifting scenes and descriptions of her dirty charms. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 - it won't change your life, but you won't wish you hadn't wasted your time.

OHMAHGOSH! The books start from five different characters, and you wonder why Bentley Little has structured the book this way. AND then... the House brings them together, and not in a good way. This isn't a haunted house story, but an evil creepy house story.

Five strangers simultaneously experience terrifying nightmares and strange hallucinations. These unnerving events reacquaint each of the individuals with a childhood they would rather forget and memories long repressed. It soon becomes apparent that each of these four men and one woman once lived in identical houses--right down to the arrangement of the furniture. Each character must return to that childhood home to confront the demons of the past and liberate their souls from the shackles of despair. Reading this battle of good versus evil is a nail-biting experience.

I give this one a 2.5 stars--it involves 5 characters stories involving incidents of their childhood taking place in 'the house'--but by the time it finally draws them all together it is beginning to get a little tiresome and boring and I found it hard to finally finish it after I skipped through the last few chapters, it just had gotten repetitive and tiresome to keep going over and over the same thing.

distrubing and different,.. but a very good read. I liked!

I actually liked this book. I'm glad I read it and have decided to order a few more Bentley Little books.
