This story started out strong, but quickly dwindled to very weak. There was such confusion about who was good, who was bad, etc. I caught on very quickly about the bad. There was such retread throughout the story. I love horror, but this was not that. ( ) Fantastic character development and interesting writing. I enjoyed the typesetting (you know what I mean if you've read the book) and the intertwining of the character's stories. That said, the last third of the book was over the top for me. I started to just skim the pages because the content didn't add anything to the plot, story, etc. It seemed as if it was thrilling just for the sake of thrilling, not for adding anything to the actual story. I really enjoyed it until the last, say, third. Then it sort of fell into a weird well of thriller/fantasy that didn't seem to go with the rest of the book. Imaginary Friend is a hard book to review. I struggled even with deciding on how many stars to rate it. It's kind of a mess, in terms of pacing, plotting, and themes. Most of the characters are just archetypes. But the story and the imagery was so compelling I could not put it down or stay away for long. I kept coming back for more. I've been reading so much horror for so long that I'm not often moved or chilled, but there were many small moments in this book that felt somehow fresh and new and awful. It really needed a heavier hand with the editing, though. Remember the complaints about the LotR movie The Return of the King had about 10 different endings - every time you thought the story resolved, it picked up and told a new ending? That's this book. At one point last night, I was yelling at the book in my best Monty Python voice, "Get on with it!" There was a lot of weird Christian allegory, but I'm not enough of a church-goer to parse it. And yet. And yet, I still would recommend it. Hardcover version, picked up on a whim at Half Price Books, when I set a goal for myself to pick a hardcover of an author I'm unfamiliar with from the Horror section, without reading reviews or anything other than the jacket blurb. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Die alleinerziehende Kate muss dringend mit ihrem siebenjährigen Sohn Christopher untertauchen. Das beschauliche Örtchen Mill Grove, Pennsylvania, scheint dafür ideal zu sein. Eine Strasse führt hinein, eine hinaus. Ringsum liegt dichter Wald. Doch kurz nach ihrem Umzug beginnt der kleine Christopher eine Stimme zu hören. Und merkwürdige Zeichen zu sehen. Zeichen, die ihn in den Wald locken. Sechs Tage lang bleibt er spurlos verschwunden. Als er wieder auftaucht, kann er sich an nichts erinnern. Aber plötzlich hat er besondere Fähigkeiten. Und einen Auftrag: ein Baumhaus mitten im Wald zu errichten. Wenn er es nicht bis Weihnachten schafft, so die Stimme, wird der ganze Ort untergehen. Ehe sie sichs versehen, befinden sich Christopher, seine Mutter und alle Einwohner von Mill Grove mitten im Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse. verlagstext Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
