Even though it is nearly 800 pages long, "Drood" by Dan Simmons is so cleverly written, plotted and executed it will keep you on edge through every chapter. In these tough economic times it's good to have so much entertainment for the same cost as most other 200 page bores that publishers are cranking out daily. This historical novel is a dark delight filled with harrowing train wrecks, strange characters, opium dens, insanity and murders throughout. Most unusual is all of this is being told from the perspective of the Victorian writer, laudanum addicted "friend" of the self-proclaimed Inimitable Charles Dickens, Mr. Wilkie Collins. With a friend like this you'll never need another enemy. I loved it. Dan Simmons has outdone himself here. While all of his multiple award winning novels are fantastic no matter what genre he may be writing in at the time, this one stands out. Please, please, please Mr. Simmons. I beg you to keep them coming!Read full review
I REALLY LIKED THE BOOK, HOWEVER IT IS LONG. I LEARNED MORE ABOUT CHARLES DICKEN IN THIS BOOK THEN I'VE EVER KNOWN.IT'S SCEARY, INTREGING, AND TELLS ALOT ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. A VERY GOOD READ.
