Fantastic, Disturbing, Romantic, Horrifying.

simply one of the most terrifying books ever.
a rollercoaster ride of horror not to be missed.
well done.

The plot completeness let it down

I love Dan Simmons but is not his best work. The characters are amazingly rich and the story is very well told. Calcutta was described in incredible depth. The plot was never finished. A lot of events went unexplained as did the role of at least two main characters. They were crucial to the plot but you never found out who they were or why they did what they did. The story just stopped. It ended up being a series of unexplained events rather than a plot.

very very very disturbing

it was poetic horror, extrely vivid, powerful and sad. a very strong story a very sad tale

Terrific performance, uninteresting story

The story itself is much less a horror narrative than it is a mystery/psychological thriller. There are a few gripping parts in the book, but overall I found the story overall to be somewhat dry and boring. The narrator committed to an excellent performance, with well acted accents for the characters. I'd say if mystery/thriller is your absolute favorite genre, this book is worth checking out. But Dan Simmons certainly has better books to offer such as Summer of Night or the Hyperion Cantos.

Wow

The story grips and keepa your attention the whole time. Dan Simmons is an amazing writer, you can feel yourself in the story its a great book
