Book Review: Some books won't let you forget them. Even if you want to...
Summary: 5 Stars

For years after reading it, I could not shake the sensation of horror
that came over me when I thought again of what had been done.
How could anyone do it? And yet, the spell of love that is cast in the
beautiful telling of this story is equally haunting.

This is no average horror story. Readers who find Clive Barker and Dean Koontz
the height of enjoyment may not appreciate the delicacy, and gradual building
of this lovely tale.

The language of this book is nearly poetic in its beauty. It is rich with detail,
complex, and fully convincing. This is a sophisticated piece of work,
and incidentally, nothing like any of Richard Adams other books.
(I have read most of them, since after reading this book, I wanted
to investigate its author.)

This book is a gourmet meal, full of fine ingredients, exquisite flavors,
and subtle blendings and contrasts. It is excellent.
