5.0�toiles sur 5 The best of Clegg's works, Avril 12 2002

Par	D. A. Dodd (Huntsville, AL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

"The Children's Hour" is the best of Douglas Clegg's ten or so published works. While his other works ("NeverLand", "Dark of the Eye", etc.) are quality novels, "The Children's Hour" stands hand and shoulders above them. Unfortunately, it seems to have had the lowest print run of all his titles as the publisher, Dell, was slowly phasing out its horror line when this one was published.

The story revolves around the return of a former resident to the town of colony. When he left fifteen or so years prior, he had fought and conquered an ancient evil. However, he feels the need to return at his mother's request due to her failing health. He returns with his family in tow.

Soon after he returns to Colony, the evil returns. Friendships are restored just in time to combat the evil. Children are affected and soon turn on the adults of the community. The main character knows that once again he must confront and defeat the evil which resides below a barn in the community if he, his family and friends are to survive. A thrilling race against time ensues and when completed, the reader is left wanting more. If you can locate a copy, grab this one and enjoy it.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Didn't like the ending., F�v 25 2004

Par Un client

This was a great book for most of its length. Comparable to 'salems Lot, one of my favorites. But the ending....

It was a bit hard to believe that a monster that had been built up to be extremely powerful, and who had wreaked considerable havoc, could be dealt with in the manner described near the end of the book. And who was able to survive the reign of terror? A select few. But surprisingly, not as select as might have been expected.

Anyway, an excellent suspensful build-up, but a questionable conclusion.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Chilling, slightly demented, and slightly disappointing, Janv. 21 2001

Par	Teri Clarke (New Jersey, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The second Clegg book I had ever read, I went into it completely and came out of it shocked. Imaginative writing was always a strong-point I admired in Doug's work. Not to say I couldn't enjoy it here, but the book didn't seem grasping to me. Very chilling, but I couldn't feel it as I much as I did Neverland.
