| Ok, so I'm going to make quite a few horror movie references here. So many, in fact, that you may read this review and say to yourself, "Oh Topside...give it a rest." Here goes nothing....so the best way to describe this story is 30 Days of Night mee ...more | |

| To quote the great Cosmo Kramer, "Oh God! It's a pig man!" I honestly am not sure what the hell I just read. A pig man hybrid battling renegade cyborgs in a dystopian future where prohibition and bootlegging are commonplace, while bacon is now a narc ...more | |

| This was just a nonstop bloodbath from start to finish. Axes, guns, knives…all the greatest tools to cause harm were touched on at some point. The characters all had purpose and were fun to experience during this onslaught by angry, cannibalist tribe ...more | |

| This was one solid, dark, and grisly book. I can't even get into some of the things that our antagonists do to their poor, unsuspecting victims, but it ain't pretty. I'll give you a hint though...you know the story of 'this little piggy' with someone ...more | |

| I read a lot of good things about Jack Ketchum's Red before I decided to jump in. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same feelings as most. The quality of the writing was mediocre, with a ton of repeat verbiage. And, while the premise of the story wasn ...more | |

| So this author can tell a damn good story and knows how to write. This had loads of suspense and no clear direction as to where things were headed, which just added to the experience here. Needless to say, it grabbed me and kept me hooked. I didn’t n ...more | |

| This was a really great horror experience. The author perfectly captured the doldrum and monotony of a typical job setting. Everything from being unsure who is or isn’t an actual friend, being unjustly harassed by HR over taking time off, the absolut ...more | |

| I really hate when I have so many issues with a given story, but I did not enjoy this at all. The first, almost, half of the book deals with grief of a lost daughter and our protagonist is in and out of drug-induced hallucinations and such. His wife ...more | |

Yep, I've had similar experiences and you took the right action by reporting. Fake ratings, unfortunately, happen more often then they should and GR does not seem to want to address it properly.
Dear Peter,hope you are keeping well? :o)
Just a quick message to say that some abusive comments and 5 "1 star" ratings (ratings; no reviews) were posted in relation to my book from 5 fake goodreads accounts. I have reported this issue to librarians/goodreads help and I hope they will deal with this promptly. If you have any experience in dealing with similar situation, pls share- its a first time this happened to me and I am a bit upset.
Its worrying that " fake ratings" are possible, for they have the power to skew the true average rating.
Wishing you a lovely day :o)

Hi Peter :o)I love this part of the quote above:
"You will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine".
So simple; so true. We will all be much happier in our relationships if we kept it in mind :o)
