5.0étoiles sur 5 Easily the deepest book I have ever read, Avril 18 2004
Par Antonio R. Gonzalez Jr. "nightmaretony" (Riverside county, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shadowland (Paperback)
I have been reading since a young age, and this is quite simply my favorite book. Some books tend to meander all over the place; others tend to load up on the details to try and fill out a sparse story wihch would be better off a short story. Not so with Shadowland, a truly monumental literary accomplishment which is completely under-rated. The massive amount of details in the story help to bring the story to life, to bring the reader closer into the story.

Shadowland is not for everyone. But if you are on the same wavelength as the story you will find what is easily the finest piece of writing in existance. The magnitude and depth of the story, the only other books I can think of comparing would be Tarot by Piers Anthony or the Dark Tower series by Stephen King; IF he gets the totally extraneous side plotline books out of the way!

It is a true shame that Straub's other works get more attention, I consider Shadowland to be his absolute finest masterpiece. This book really does belong to the ages.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Before Harry Potter there was..., Mars 6 2004
Par Timothy Capehart "Review-a-holic" (Dayton, Ohio USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shadowland (Paperback)
This was a favorite book of mine when it came out (I was in junior high when it came out in paperback the first time). It is creepy, full of magic & menace, and quite well written. (As an adult, I did notice a glaring point of view problem in the first part of the book--see if you can find it). It's the story of two boys who become friends at a private school amidst strange goings on. They spend the summer together in New Hampshire with the uncle of one of the boys who happens to be the world's greatest (sinister) magician. This is one of Straub's best to date and probably one of his two or three least known books. Give it a try!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Scariest book I ever read, Fév 20 2004
Par james miscavish (Cameron, Mo) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shadowland (Paperback)
This got me started on Peter Straub. I read Ghost Story, Koko, Mystery, and If you could see me now all because of Shadowland. I could not put this book down. It is easily the most unsettling book I have ever read and I don't think Straub has reached this level of intensity ever again.
