Book Reviews of Bad Moon RisingBook Review: Awesome trilogy Summary: 5 StarsI pick up ghost road blues on a fluke from wally world i needed a book because i was going underway for 2 months I read the book in a week and a half. Honestly, I was engulf by it I know Jonanthan Mayberry wrote non fiction books (not prior to these books) but he is a great story teller. Usally first time fiction writer with this large of a cast (and a trilogy at that) all of things don't mesh together and you end up being a critic and pick out all the things thing don't match up just right, but I can say that ever happened it flowed great, barely any boring parts that you have to suffer through. I loved all the chacthers in this book and hated those who needed to be. I love this story and i hope for a spin off or something. I would recommand these books to anybody who likes vampires, werewolfes, horror fiction.
Book Review: Better than Stephen King!!11 Summary: 5 StarsAfter reading this 3-book series telling the story of Pine Deep, Jonathon Maberry has, in my mind, dethroned Stephen King as THE master of the horror genre . Maberry's character development and attention to detail immediately makes the reader feel an attachment to, and an emotional investment in, the characters and the town itself. There is never a dull moment in this series. I hated to see it end. Needless to say, I have a new favorite author and I cannot wait to read more from Mr. Mayberry!
Book Review: Part 2 of 3 Summary: 4 StarsFor some strange reason, I prefer horror novels over anything else. As people like me know, the novels in this genre more likely than not - suck. However, I loved this trilogy. The characters are interesting and diverse. Maberry is an excellent writer.
Book Review: Renee's Review Summary: 5 StarsAs a fan of Stephen King, I thought no one could sway me from my belief that the King's hold on the most ingenious of imaginations would ever be topped. Then I read BAD MOON RISING, by Jonathan Maberry and I am swayed! The residents of Pine Deep, Pennsylvania have no idea the horror that awaits them on Halloween night just as I had no idea the nightmares that would result from reading such a lavish tale of dark terror, violence, love and death. But that's always the result from reading a good tale of horror, so I didn't mind. Still amid the violence and death, one of my favorite sentences is a very simple description that says a mouthful. "His smile never faded as the minutes of night dropped like cigarette ash on the ground around him." If you love the legends of vampires, werewolves, avenging angels, as much as you enjoy strong characters then you will love this novel, and you will want the story to continue. This is the third book in a trilogy, we can only hope the author decides to revisit Pine Deep and continue the tale with a fourth.
Book Review: Good series Summary: 3 StarsHaving finally picked up and read, "Ghost Road Blues", I found myself hooked on the characters and having to know what happens to them after then end of the book. So I bought Jonathan Maberry's last two books in the series, "Dead Man's Song" and "Bad Moon Rising". While he gives a lot of life to his characters, I felt he easily could have summed up the story in two novels, rather than three. In places the plot line started to drag and go on just too long. All in all, it was a good read though and I'll definitely be watching for more from this author in the future.
