I originaly read this book when I was entering 5th grade. When I noticed it as I was browsing the shelves of my public library I was estastic, as I remembered greatly enjoying this book. However it seems that my taste in writing style has changed in the four years since I last read this novel. Th...
The pacing of the book is a continuous motion like the waves on a beach, rising and falling. There’s always something new being discovered. Golden attempts to balance “our world” with the world “behind the veil” as these two lands collide in a series of horrifying murders and disappearances. T...
With True Blood author Charlaine Harris and Otherworld author, Kelley Armstrong both endorsing the novel, there was really some expectation for this novel to be good. And it really is and kicks butt.I got introduced to the writing style of Christopher Golden when he penned the Gatekeeper trilogy ...

Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comAfter finishing PROWLERS, the first book in this series by Christopher Golden, the only question I have is why it's proclaimed to be a young adult read. I guess it's because the main character, Jack Dwyer, is nineteen--but besides their age, there's nothing abou...
I shouldn't like to use the word "worthless". But this book is pretty much everything I DON'T want from an episode guide: Lengthy plot recaps, pages and pages and pages and PAGES of quotes, script excerpts copied verbatim - because, y'know, it's not like I haven't already watched the show, right...
