4.0 out of 5 stars Not his best, Nov 14 2003

By	J. Birtles "charltonathletic" (Davis,CA. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm currently reading all of Mccammon's books in chronological order. Right now I've just finished Mystery Walk and I'd have to agree with other reviewers that the last 70 or so pages (and the introduction of characters that appear to add little to the book) is a bit of a let down-to such a degree that I was not particularly enthused to finish the book. I think Robert blew it! Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable book and I do recommend it. However, so far nothing comes close to They Thirst (the best so far) and Night Boat , which is great fun to read. Next up is Swan Song!

5.0 out of 5 stars McCammon himself recommends reading this 1st, Jul 2 2003

By	R. Helms "Gaming nerd" (El Paso, TX usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was present at a book conference where Mr. McCammon spoke at a panel. One question was put to him about which of his books he'd recommend a reader new to his works try first. He said Mystery Walk.

I also find Mystery Walk a great introduction to McCammon's talents perhaps at their finest, most honed perfection. Characters are compelling, emotionally involving, and real; plot tension keeps you turning the pages; the flow of the narritive is cinematically rich in detail as well as action and movement; the ending very satisfying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not an ordinary McCammon book, Feb 18 2003

By	"msroop" (Blacksburg, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

Mystery Walk while not one of Robert McCammon's greatest works is still a great read for a lazy afternoon. If you want to read a great McCammon book try Usher's Passing or Swan Song.
