Helpful Score: 1

This was the first book I ever read from author David Morrell. I have to say it had me captivated through the whole book. Even though I knew it was fiction, some part of me wished that there was truly a Paragon Hotel that was once a part of the Asbury Park area that history could be searched. The way David Morrell built up the history of the hotel and its eccentric owner all the way to the climactic ending, was pure genius! I have read various accounts of the "urban explorers" stories. They are the people who explore abandoned buildings even though they know it's illegal and very dangerous just to get a sense of the history of these buildings.
David Morrell managed to do one thing that no other author has done to this date: to get me to finish reading his book in a week! If you are a fan of thrillers, constant action, suspense at every turn, then this book is for you!
