Swan Song
by Robert R. McCammon
5 stars!! This book was epic and fantastic!
I think I might be one of the last horror lovers to read this door stopper, but I’m glad that I finally got to this.
I’ve been a McCammon fan for some time.
He’s a favorite author of mine but I’ve never read Swan Song.
It was due to book size, not because I wasn’t interested in the overall plot or genre.
Swan Song is an apocalyptic masterpiece that starts with the world being destroyed and showing the battle between good vs evil.
Sure, there are many books out there with this type of plot, but this is one of the best!
The plot is excellent from the beginning of the nuclear apocalypse, the journey of our brave characters, to the evil that hunts them down.
The amazing thing about this book is not just the writing, which is brilliant, but it’s also the characters.
Characters to love and HATE. Not just “kind of” hate, but despise. A blinding rage of hate that will have you hoping good will prevail.
This type of characterization will not let you be BLAH about your emotions. It will be strong, emotional and you will be gripped with anxiety not only for characters you love, but for the world at large.
One last thing that I loved about this book is the magical realism with Swan, the Job's Mask condition, Friend, and many other things. I loved the fantasy piece to this book as well!
Definitely recommend Swan Song to everyone.
Don’t sleep on this one because of page size. Try to get to it one day, and the sooner the better!
