review 1: "Crimson" started off ok, got rolling along nicely & crashed insanely. Like a '57 Chevy propelled from the edge of a cliff in '60's suspense movie. The crash lasting forever, the car rolling crazily over every bolder... Well, no more Gord Rollo for me! The narrative tends to trip along in an amateurish tone at times. Also, too many scenes and random characters are thrown in to supplement a storyline that would be good enough if told in a stronger voice. This book does NOT compare to Stephen King's "It", in ANY way, much less being "...it's superior in every way.", as noted on the cover.
review 2: This is a modern horror novel that harkens back to those strange, gory tales from the eighties that so many of us loved as kids. I was a bit averse to them when I was ... morea little scamp, but I enjoy them now. While the story was good enough to keep me turning pages, I found the villain a bit unbelievable at times. His focus and his abilities seem a bit of a dog's breakfast as the story progresses, and when it gives a kind of Bond-villain style explanation to its plans towards the end, I had to shake my head. Still, the protagonist was a sympathetic cat and his story alone was entertaining, as he retells his torment through childhood, adolescence, and the worst yet during his adulthood. less
