review 1: Kyle, a ten-year-old boy, who lives in rural Georgia in 1976 causes a woman to run off the road to avoid hitting him on his bike. Kyle runs from the accident instead of helping the woman, which sets the events of the book in motion. Riddled with guilt, Kyle is vulnerable. Kyle, his little sister, Grace, and the old man, who is stroke victim, across the street are the main characters. The children are repulsed and scared of the old man across the street. The author uses a very clever device to reveal the mystery in the book. Kyle is a very well rounded character with moral questions he must try to answer. I like the book and recommend it if you like mysteries and crime novels.
review 2: I'm not the biggest fan of this type of book (they terrify me) though I was ... moremoreso when I was a teen. I picked this one up after I read an interview with the author mentioning that an event from his childhood had triggered the story. At the End of the Road is a story in the tradition of the best Stephen King or Robert McCammon: riveting, heartbreaking, disturbing, masterfully crafted, and unputdownable. A great read. less
