I throughly enjoyed this book, I read many of the other reviews on it and I don't get the disappointment. I felt like it followed her journey through dealing with her husband the only way she knew how. She wasn't the most exciting person to began with. She found out about herself through the process and ya she had to push through it but I don't know about you but I would be having to force it too. I think it's worth the read, it wasn't the same ol' same ol' type of story so worth spicing up your current to read list. ( )

It took me a month and a half to read this book. Combined with the size and how I wasn't able to really get into it, it took longer then it usually does for me to read a book. Like I mentioned before I couldn't really get into it, it was a bit too slow for my taste and there was just not enough excitment for me to really like it. As one of those people that hates to abandon a book once they have started reading it, I suffered through it and felt very proud of myself for finishing it. It took 500 pages to get to the tour itself, that's really what the book is about and it seemed like it dragged on forever. What Laymon did was gave background on nearly every single main character so that it would build up to the main climax and by the time he got done with the background and stuff there was 100 pages left to do the tour. The Midnight Tour pretty much finished like the first one, I don't know how the second one ended so I can't say that it finished the same way but I ended just like the first one. I didn't like, I didn't like it one bit. I read the first book in the series (really trilogy since there is only 3 books) and wasn't to impressed with that one. I didn't have the second one so I just know bits and pieces of it thanks to this book. But it probably sucked as bad as the first and third one.

I have two other books by Richard Laymon and I really hope it was just the series and not the author. Dean Koontz says he a absolute treat to read and so far I thank he's an absolute travesty. ( )

Just the follow-up the Beast House. Richard Laymon did a really good job, he usually is not one of the authors I follow. I really enjoyed the Beast House books. ( )

Book description
Beast House has a notorious history. Starting in 1903, this quaint Victorian in Malcasa, CA, has been the scene of repeated gruesome rapes and murders by "beasts" - a sort of mutated missing link, hairless like humans but powerful like apes with rending claws and fangs among their unique features. But the beasts are all dead now, or are they? Take "the midnight tour" of the house and find out.
