I enjoyed All My Colors. It kept me turning the pages and had dark humor throughout. It very much had the feel of a classic horror story à la Twilight Zone, Tales From the Crypt, etc. where the person gets their comeuppance and through the horror or shock there’s a moral to be had. This made it familiar and fun, while fortunately original enough to be unpredictable.

A gripping page-turner that mixes suspenseful horror with dark humour. It has the intriguing premise of a would-be writer whose eidetic memory conjures up verbatim a great American novel that appears not to exist.

This book was WILD. Haven’t read a scene that’s made me physically nauseous since middle school.

Finished the book in one day. It was the weirdest book I ever read. It was like the twilight zone mixed with a Stephen King novel. I read the entire book in less than 24 hours. I really couldn’t put the book down! It was a fantastic read. I didn’t give it a four stars because it’s not the genre I am usually interested in so I wouldn’t reread it. But I would recommend it to others.

Commits the worst sins of horror satires: it’s not scary enough and can get intolerably boring. Some of the writing is clever but there isn’t enough behind this to recommend.
