Review by Victim (090400) Rating (9/10) Review
by Victim The author gives a good description of how I imagine suburbia to be (I'm a country lad tha' knows) The neighbours will not accept the Marches, and thus the tale unfolds... Billy's family try to make a good life for themselves but are shut out by the neighbours, he only finds two friends, each of whom are also outcasts, and so the acceptability is still not forthcoming. The
book is in two parts, the first dealing with all of the origins,
giving background to the scenario, but the second half - Oh Yeah!
REVENGE!!! The second half is where the fun begins, a nice young
couple move to town, which by now is winning awards for its pleasant
life. It is a great place to live - if you're kind of a yuppie.
There are some fabulous uses for golf clubs among other things.
I will say no more. This is a great read and if you enjoy the
likes of later Shaun Hutson and Clive Barker's Books of Blood
I reckon you'll enjoy this too. It is an urban myth kind of affair,
but brilliantly rendered. |
