R.W. Ridley

Oh Mr.R you've done it again!

Like the other books in this series I felt this one was written for me.First you've been compared to Stephen King - one of my favorites. Next your books were compared to The Wizard of Oz - another of my favorites. Then you use a dog in your storyline and lo and behold its a German Shepard- of course, my favorite. Now in your latest installment you mention paintball. Yet one more of my favorites. I squealed in delight. I couldn't believe my eyes. Even if it was show more only mentioned briefly I was still thrilled. BUT THEN, sniff sniff, THEN after reading a few more pages you ripped my heart out. You did the unthinkable. Page after page the tears came. I was so emotionally invested that I wanted just as much revenge as Oz. Even two days after finishing the book I"m still thinking about. That is a great book when you can't stop thinking about it days after you've finished!

I can't wait for the next one ! Not only to find out what happens, of course, but I'm wondering what other "favorite" thing of mine will be in the storyline. Baking? Knitting? The color blue? . . . . . . show less

I knew from the minute I saw the cover I was going to like this book.It claims it "recalls both Stephen Kings The Stand and L Frank Baums The wizard of Oz" Umm, hello... Stephen King was the only author I would read when I was a teenager and The Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite movie. Then imagine my surprise when I start reading the book and theres a German Shepard in there. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !! This book was meant for me.
I couldnt put it down. A great mix of suspense, horror and humour show more all rolled into one. Bonus - it was free on Kindle :) show less

In the beginning I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first due to the sci fi feel from the start. Plus the sacarsm and my favorite characters took more of a back seat in this one. However as I got into it the suspense picked up and it became a real page turner. Also I really felt the message of bullying and how it can harm an individual.That message was also in the first book but it was really spelled out for you here. Can't wait to start the next book!

I enjoyed every page and did not want the book to end.I usually dont say that I have a favorite author because it feels very limiting but this series has changed my mind. I definitely have a favorite author now and his name is R.W. Ridley !!
