This review is from: The Final Shortcut (Paperback)
So many books take multiple chapters to even become remotely interesting, but I was hooked on Ray's novel by the end of the first paragraph. The story continues to deliver by being extremely well developed and thought out. There is enough character development that i had no trouble picturing the characters and the scenery with perfect clarity. At the same time, Ray doesnt waste your time describing mundane, useless information that makes you want to wait for the movie. The book simply STAYS interesting in that classic "can't put it down" quality. The story is unbelievably believable, and makes you think this could really happen. One pet peeve of mine with horror stories and "slashers" is the gratuity with which slayings are handed out, and the lack of rationale and motive behind the mayhem. The character "Junior" is so well developed that you actually empathize with him. In fact, I found myself agreeing with him and justifying his actions....at times. I'm very impressed with Ray's story-telling ability. The story flows smoothly, is interesting, captivating, pleasantly demented, and a lot of fun. I can't wait to see if Junior comes back for round two.
