Island
I just joined the Book Forum, a few days ago. I saw a section - Book Search. Well, I've been searching for a particular book for a long time. I read it a long time ago, and few books since then have been as engrossing or as fun - and I wanted to re-read it. I thought the title was The Island - but kept coming up with zilcho. I posted it on the Book Search and that huge Laymon fan, Dorian Gray, came right up with it - it's called Island. I instantly went out to Borders and bought it, and 3 other Laymon books.
Reading his work is so much fun, takes such little effort, and is so spellbinding, that it feels like a guilty pleasure. I don't mind if a book takes me 30-40-50 pages to really get caught up, but this book Island does it from sentence 1. Not page 1 or paragraph 1 - sentence 1. I can't wait to get on the bus tonight so I can continue. I read it so long ago, it's like reading it for the first time. I only remember a few isolated plot points - which were enought for Dorian Gray to recogize it.
He's great. I intend to read everything he's written.
