- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Horror, thriller, kidnapping, action adventure - this book has it all. Definitely a wild read and an addicting page turner. I am a huge Robert McCammon fan and this novel did not disappoint. Highly recommended.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I’m supposed to be ecstatic with this book but Brooke you’re so annoying and so insecure and so irrational!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Esta parte fue aún más codependiente que la anterior, que triste.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I am a big fan of Robert R. McCammon's work. I have never read a book of his that I didn't really, really like. What I mainly like about his work is that each book is completely different. He can write suspenseful thrillers, coming-of-age stories, mysteries, as well as what I believe he really succeeds at...horror. His writing talent appears to be endless. In this one he has created one of the most diabolically un-hinged characters that I have ever encountered...Mary Terrell, also known as "Mary Terror". He created someone you could weirdly relate to and at times even like, but then be presented with the horror at the things she does and the things that she says...a female Hannibal Lector. Mary was once a member of the fanatical Storm Front Brigade in the 60's and is completely convinced that their surviving leader and Mary's one time lover, Jack, wants to build a life with her. In her crazy, twisted mind she feels she can't reunite with him without bringing a baby with her to replace the one they'd lost. She now precedes to steals a newborn from a hospital. Laura, the mother of the stolen child can't wait for the police, so she goes after this psychopath through three states no less. David is the newborn son of iron-willed journalist Laura Clayborne. Laura had just dumped her unfaithful husband and was determined that she's not about to lose her child too, so when the FBI knows that the kidnapper is Mary, who has now killed several people while escaping Atlanta Laura sets after the madwoman on her own. - Laura picks up Mary's trail in Michigan that sets off a ferocious chase that features, among other over-the-top events a blizzard, several enraged pit bulls, homegrown surgery, a mutilated FBI agent on a rampage, and a completely predictable resolution. Overall, this is a book of blood, guts and crazy road trips, but and one that is nearly impossible to put down.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There was a point where I really thought I wasn't going to like this novel. It was about a third of the way in, and not much was happening.
Then McCammon kicked it into gear. Overall, there were points where I thought, Damn, I'd love to see what King would have done with this.. After all, King's playground is so huge, other authors can't help but end up playing there, but McCammon seemed to more than most. I don't think it was ever by design, but still it happened frequently.
This, to me, is the type of story King excels at. Digging back into the late-Sixties radicalism, the road novel, the cat-and-mouse game, and the psychopath at the heart of it. King's take likely would have been just as good, but I'm not sure he would have taken it in the same direction.
For the most part, the direction McCammon took was good, if a little risky. He spent as much, if not more time, in the villain--Mary Terror--POV. And I think this may have been a case of "too much". She was convincing early on, but I grew a bit weary of the Jim-Morrison-is-God and the mind-fuck state comments all the time.
But, in the second half of the novel, when the chase is really on, it's really on, and McCammon's writing has never been sharper. The back-to-back scenes involving the dogs and the car chase (you'll know when you get there) were flat-out amazing, and the final scene also rocked, as it needed to.
The combination of Blue World and this novel showed McCammon nearly at the top of his game.
Now, if I remember the novel as well as I think, he improved even more with the next novel and, as far as I'm concerned (at least as of today), his best.
Let's see of Boy's Life holds up as well as I think it will. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5REVIEWED: Mine
WRITTEN BY: Robert R. McCammon
PUBLISHED: May, 1990
A fast-paced thriller that will keep you turning the pages. A psychotic woman, trapped in the delusions of her revolutionary hippie days, kidnaps a baby to give to the man she worships. The baby's mother chases after the woman, risking everything to save her newborn. Filled with action, suspense, and solid plot turns, this novel is another success for Robert McCammon. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Title: A twisted past and a horrifying present collide
Summary:
This is the story of two women that are brought together by a time in history when they thought that they could change the world. One tried to change it by doing protest marches and participating in sit-ins while the other thought that her and her group could accomplish more with a more hands on approach that included terror and murder. One out grew her protest days while the other had her dream of revolution crushed in a night of fire and bullets.
Twenty years later Laura is married and works as a reporter covering the social scene for the local newspaper. She is also nine months pregnant and is due any day. She also suspects that her life is in a rut and that her husband is cheating on her. Nevertheless she is hoping that with the baby on the way that her and her husband can fix their marriage and things will go back to the way that they used to be.
Mary, AKA Mary Terror, sits in a dingy apartment never quite knowing what is real and what is not real. All she knows is that the enemy is always watching and no one can ever be trusted. She goes about her daily routine, always ready to bolt or kill if she thinks that her cover has been blown; until one day she comes across a message in an underground magazine. In the magazine there is a message that may be from the leader of her old group. Deciding that her old boss might want to get the gang back together, Mary packs her bags and sets out to the old rendezvous point, on the way she also decides that she needs to bring her old boss an offering…
The collision course is now set. Mary steals Laura’s baby from the hospital and what should have been the happiest day of Laura’s life has now become the most horrifying. As the hours and then days drag on it becomes clear that Mary is just as good at evading the authorities now as she was back in her heyday. With no progress being made Laura takes matters into her own hands and begins tracking Mary on her own. Following every lead she can puts Laura on Mary’s trail but, that is only the beginning. As Laura closes in she finds that the only way to track Mary is to think like Mary, act like Mary. Which leaves her with the terrifying question: To save her son, is she willing to go as far as Mary?
My Thoughts:
This was one of those books I had a tough time putting down. This author always writes a good story and like usual I wasn’t disappointed. The lead up to the actual chase is a little slow but it makes sense when the story hits full speed and there are a few surprises toward the end. I didn’t want to give to much away in my description as that would ruin some of what made the story good. The characters are also well developed, even if one or two are kind of one-note and just kind of move the story along where necessary. Those are my only minor nitpicks. If you looking for a good thriller, then give this one a read. You won’t be disappointed. m.a.c - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Slightly better than average thriller, would probably work better as a movie. There's one big problem I have with this type of book. When you get to (seemingly) a big showdown moment, but there's still two hundred pages to go, you know the main characters are going to survive and advance the story. So this happens five or six times... and not much is resolved and the story moves on. Could have been just as good with half the length.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Not sure if I still have a (Dutch) copy of this book but what I do remember is that I loved it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Top notch kidnap/chase story. A bit weird to start off with, where the central villain (villainess?) is introduced; drugs feature heavily (and I tend to find there is a direct correlation between drugs featuring heavily and me not understanding a storyline, but not to worry....), as does a shady past in the '60s. Once the chase is on things really kick off. Though the ending isn't bad, it was the action bit in the middle that had me on the edge of my seat.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a great horror/suspense novel this is - a real page-turner.
