drelbszoomer 's review for:

A Winter Haunting by Dan Simmons
2.0

Summer Of Night was exceptional - this one is not. A Sad Divorced Dad who Cheated On His Wife With A Student That Wanted To Have Sex With Him goes back to a bad place, because the plot insists he must - not out of any believable motivations. He gets horny, because Ancient Gods, or something. He outwits a local pack of neo-Nazis by way of some night muddin', by engaging the differential lock of his beefy Land Cruiser, as its straight six hums with power, & etc etc.

Summer Of Night was about children, this one is not - and yet somehow this book manages to be the more juvenile of the two.

Summer Of Night is worth reading - this one is not.
