Vicki Willis Has anyone started this yet? I started out loving it, then not liking it, then loving it again. I am about 70% done and want someone to read with me!

I'm starting tonight. Right now actually.


Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Yikes, sorry Vicki. I'll take it to work with me today. Yes, Laymon!

Addy | 1944 comments I'd read this but have way too much going on. I need to get on a Laymon kick again. I have so many I haven't read.


Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Laymon is the most fun to read. It's like a horrific reading vacation.


Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Really creepy opening. It reads just like a slasher flick. Really good use of anticipation. This girl is clucked up, guys.


Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Im 11%


Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 12 comments My favorite Laymon! Glad to see you guys are enjoying it.


Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Chop chop!

I'm at fifty percent, I read the first quarter of our group read and didn't like it so I'm back on this one tonight.

Fifty percent spoiler (view spoiler)

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 12 comments Hope you dig it, Justin. Do you guys know about the secret code Laymon hid in this book?


Vicki Willis Tell me about the code.

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 12 comments Haha!


message 14: by Andy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments I did catch the reference the narrator makes to her identity being hidden within the book. I'll look it up at the end if I don't figure it out.


message 15: by Adam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 12 comments I don't want to spoil anything.


message 16: by Andy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments I'm at 70%. The story has grown on me as it has progressed. I really liked the scene with Milo. That was nuts. Alice is a sociopath.


Justin (justineaton) | 3492 comments Mod
Yea I liked the whole part with Milo also. I wonder where the story will go from here.

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 12 comments The end is one of my personal favorites by Laymon. Can't wait to see your thoughts.


Justin (justineaton) | 3492 comments Mod
I thought the ending was great.


Vicki Willis I agree about the ending. I didn't think that is what was going to happen!
I also like the part about Murphy. It was so creepy when he came home and pretended it wasn't him!


message 21: by Adam (new) - rated it 5 stars

Adam Light (goodreadscomadamlight) | 12 comments Anyone figure out the secret message or shall I tell you how to find it now?


message 22: by Andy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Can you imagine how much that would hurt. Clench and shudder....


message 23: by Andy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Andy (manicsloth) | 787 comments Just looked up the secret code. I guessed it would be something simple, but didn't figure it out on my own. Definitely gets extra cool points for that.

I assume you mean what happened to the thrill killer, yea that would suck pretty bad.
