4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but a little too...out there..., Jul 21 2003

By	Josh (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tap, Tap (Mass Market Paperback)

First off...I love David Martins writing. I can't place it, but I can read his books over and over again and still feel the same thrills as before.

I was excited to read this one, and I finished it within two days...but just something about it kinda threw me off track. I mean, the book has its thrills and chills...but it gets a little "Fantasy" like towards the end, and one thing I liked about Martins books is that you can actually picture it in your head without hesitation, but in this book I couldn't do it...

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Clean Fun, Mar 13 2002

By	Daniel Vullo "BRAIN CANDYMAN" (Weehawken, Nj United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tap, Tap (Mass Market Paperback)

In two words Quick Fun. This novel is no great piece of literature, but it was a good quick solid read, that was interesting to say the least.
The concept, alone was what riveted me, to read the book. Imagine that your best friend from 10 years ago suddenly comes to your front door and strikes up a conversation, about this or that. Then at some point he asks you who do you hate, and who hurt you or your family. No big deal. Right?
Then suddenly all the people who you mentioned the day before start turning up dead.
So starts the adventure, that is both interesting and never failing. I like these type of books from time to time, short in length, long in suspense. Good Clean Fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!, Nov 25 2001

By	Scott Shirley (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tap, Tap (Mass Market Paperback)

One of my firends suggested that I read this book, and I'm so glad I did!!

Roscoe Bird (you have to love that name) has a problem. One of his school friends is back in town (Peter Tummelier), and soon Roscoe's enemies start turing up dead. Not just one's in Roscoe's present, but his enemies that were in his childhood. Peter has plans for Roscoe and his family.

Through the book we meet a lot of interesting and creepy characters. Most of the creepiness comes in when we meet Peter and his brother. Not only do we read about what Peter and his Brother do in the present, but we also read the sick and twisted childhood that they had. When you read about the childhood that peter and his brother had, you start to feel sorry for them on how they turned out as adults. But you will get the heebie-jeebies when you read this wonderful book.

This is one of the most interesting vampire books that I've read. You don't know if there is a vampire or just some serial killer. I can promise you that you'll be guessing right up to the end.

Martin has a wonderful writing style. He has the talent to mix in horror and humor in this story. The characters seem life like, and one can't help but to feel a range of emotions as they read. Martin also has the gift to keep the reader glued to the page. I highly suggest you read this book. You won't be sorry. I know i wasn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable ride
Fast paced, quick and easy reading. I did not find it to be as graphic as some of the other reviewers. Oh well, maybe next time. Great ending.
