Great sequel to Chasing the Boogeyman

Revisado: 11-19-23

This book was a great journey from start to finish. I actually enjoyed it even more than the first book in this series. It kept me guessing the entire time, which for me is very unusual and marks the sign of a great writer. Highly recommend.

Should be two books

Revisado: 11-12-21

Most of the stories are great, some are just meh. My real problem with this book is the narration. The first part "I am Legend" is done very well. The rest of the book is done by someone else, and the voice is just boring. No inflection, no interest, just reading the stories. There is not even any break between stories, so sometimes you find yourself wondering if it's a new story or still the previous one. Worth getting, but be prepared to struggle listening to the short stories.

Great True Crime Novel

Revisado: 08-27-21

I was very excited for this book to come out - and didn't want it to be over when I finished it. Story is very well written, and is told from the viewpoint of the author. I felt like I really got to know him and his family from the story. The story itself has all the elements you would expect from a true crime novel, details, points of view, interviews, police involvement, press, you name it, it's all there. The narration is great - I felt very appropriate for the genre. One part that will stay with me is when the author is worried his mom won't want to cook for him anymore. As a mother, I can tell you that would never happen! At least not with the loving family the reader is introduced to in this story. Great book - if you've never read anything by Chizmar before, check out his other books - and his collaborations with his son Billy & Stephen King.

Excellent

Revisado: 02-19-19

This book had me hooked all the way through. I really liked the story and the characters. I liked it so much I ordered a special edition of the book produced by Suntup Editions. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I also purchased it, and am looking forward to finding the time to watch it. I hope it's as good as the book.

Good character development

Revisado: 02-19-19

I really enjoyed this book - took a chance because of the hoopla surrounding the movie on Netflix. I always try to read the book before seeing the movie - so I can't compare, since I have yet to see the movie. The book though, was a lot better than I anticipated. I enjoyed the slow character development, and my theories on things as the story progressed. I'm not a huge fan of any ending - not many writers can write an ending that is satisfying to me - I either don't agree - or I just don't want it to end! The ending to this was fine. I recommend this book, and have already added a few more titles by this author to my to-be-read list.

Good Author

Revisado: 02-19-19

Brian James Freeman is becoming one of my favorite authors. He has a knack for drawing you into a story almost immediately. My only complaint is that I feel like the story shouldn't end! I hope he will come out with some novel-lengthed books in the future, but for now, novellas, short stories, and children's books (The Zombie who Cried Human) are around to keep me coming back for more. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

The narration on this book was good - nothing spectacular, but not distracting either (which is a must for audiobooks!)
