I love Dan Simmons and while I thought this was a good
book, it’s not his best. Strange enough it’s a sequel to Summer of Night with
the main character Dale Stewart returning to try and write a book about what
happened while he was a kid. I’ve read Summer of Night but I didn’t recall any
of it. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had but it was some twenty odd
years since I read that last book. There is a great feeling of disquiet about
the book that is pretty spooky. I also love how damaged he is, he makes for a
compelling character. In the end the writing is solid and I liked how the story
flows but it didn’t leave me completely satisfied. Grade: B
