Book Reviews of The Boys Are Back in Town
Book Review: 4.5 Stars for 'The Boys...'
Summary: 5 Stars
Christopher Golden has come a long way from his vampiric novels. This outing manages to mix together the angst of high school reunions, long-distance friendships, and family ties in a way never-before-done by an author not named Stephen King! The supernatural elements are deftly woven into the novel's framework a little at a time, and don't take a prominent position until about 175 pages in. By that time even a jaded critic of horror novels will care enough about the characters to keep on reading.
A well-done outing, and one that's going to keep you up later than you want to be. The pages will keep on flipping, but it's not due to magic, it's due to Golden's magical touch with the written word.
