A review by billymac1962
Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons
5.0
One glance of the wear on the spine of my copy of Carrion Comfort would be enough to tell this is a must read. In fact, I would upload a picture of it but yet another of my friends is currently reading it. One of my friends read it three times and another wants it back again.
It's a toss-up between this novel and Silence of the Lambs as my favorite novel of all time.
It's huge, over 900 pages, and dates back from Nazi Germany to present day. In a nutshell, it's about a small group of people with the ability to completely control the actions of people using telekinesis. For those who have read the novel, this little tidbit will interest you:
I saw an interview with Dan Simmons...the inspiration for this story came from a dream he had of an old woman in a nightgown being pursued through a forest by a helicopter.
Amazing how this story grew from that. I can't recommend this highly enough. Read it!!
