ndhillon 's review for:

Boy's Life by Robert R. McCammon
3.0

600+ pages is quite an investment...

This wasn't horror. A compilation of outrageous and kinda creepy stories? Sure. What started as a promising adventure took a turn when the random side stories began. I understand why it may have been necessary given the title, however I think it took away from the premise.

It could have used some editing down to bring focus and clarity to what was going on. I was skipping and skimming to painstakingly get through it.

My rating is 3-stars mostly because I couldn't do 2.5. The saving grace was The Lady storyline. I'd love to hear more about her tbh.
