Generally a fan of Laymon's work, I was extremely disappointed by "Blood Games." It draws on way too long, focusing on five extremely boring female characters who run into a killer at an abandoned lake resort. The suspense and extreme horror Laymon has become known for is virtually non-existent in "Blood Games." The ending is a complete bust, and leaves you wondering why you even bothered.

this book was okay. I thought it was a little too much "you already know this stuff". not too bad though. Only read it if you really need inspiration.

After reading accounts of Sartre's highly unpleasant experiences with the then-infant compound LSD, this book made more sense on the whole, though taken as an independent perspective of one man's interior world (and a fictional world at that, severed from the corresponding reality of the author) I found it illuminating and full of abstract though vivid imagery. I read it in conjunction with a class on Existentialism while living in Copenhagen, so the atmosphere provided certain nuances to the experience of reading the book, I'm sure. I'm torn on Sartre's conclusion - is the impending 'invasion' of the vines and other converging plantlife about the town a cause for fear or celebtation, or neither, and instead the breaking point at which freedom from futility is fully realized?
