review 1: This is not what I expected when I started reading this book for sure. I was a little hesitant going into the start of the book but it turned out to be a great story. Something you can become a part of and identify with the story. The characters in the story are great but it is the true wit of Strand and the humor that keep this book flowing throughout without this is may have become too dull for me.
review 2: I think I could read Jeff Strand just for the prose. It feels less like I'm reading a horror author and more like I am reading a comedian who happens to write in the horror genre. What I also like about his writing style is that he takes a very conversationialist approach with the reader using a dead-pan-state-the-obvious kind of satire. The danger here... more is that you can end up getting the author's direct voice with very little plot or character development. Not with Jeff Strand. In fact, there has been very few authors in the horror genre (at least that I'm aware of), outside of Jeff Strand, that have successfully pulled off this kind of style. As to Fang Boy, I found it to be a very enjoyable and entertaining romp through Lemony Snicket territory. It was just one unfortunate event after another that befell poor Nathan Pepper, or those he was closely associated with. Although some of the characterization was brief for many of the sub-characters, I still felt fairly invested in them and their outcomes. I highly recommend this one... though keep in mind... this story really does defy classification. If you go in with expectations of a "horror" story, you may be dissapointed. If you are looking for a fun tongue-firmly-in-cheek tale of misfortune, you will most certainly enjoy!! less
