One of laymons lighter books.. I kept expecting it to really get even more violent ( and yes it was but not nearly as bad as some of his can get) and scarey but it pretty much kept at a middle suspense level.. some of his books really can get my heart thumping... if you have read any of laymons books you know what I mean! I liked this one though...it wasn't as scary as some of his or as suspenseful. Well worth the read. This isn't really a vampire story either.. in fact the vampire only has a small part even though he is there in the background throughout the whole thing... its more of a love story in a way and a story of two people who try to look at the god side of things and never let whats happening to them really get to them or to dwell on what MAY happen. I liked how the female in the book, even after all the bad things that had happened n her past tried to keep her outlook on on the positive. If you like Laymons books but are not up for a really truly bizarre horror like most of his are..... this ones for you.. its got a little less of the sex (and in fact this one has some sex but not as much as most of his books do.. I thin the sex in this one was right in the right places.. usually, although I dont think in real life.. people would have been having sex a few of the times they did in real life.. ), violence and bizarreness in it.. but still has those things with them not being as bad as they usually are in his books.. if that makes any sense to you.. I think if you have read his books you'll get what I mean.. lol
