Summer of Night by Dan Simmons
5.0
2023: so glad I chose to reread this and that I recommended it to the local book club this book is spooky and delivers it’s scares on multiple fronts. The other thing that stuck with me from this reading is the way it’s written like each character is a main character. I loved that I’m still upset about Dwayne. And surprised how much Mike’s narrative parts took over as my favorites to read. I enjoy Cordie Cook showing up when she does and how her fate changes! I can’t wait to discuss this book next week!!
2020:Book Review- Summer of Night by Dan Simmons
I feel like I have no one to blame but myself for putting off on reading this for so long. The person who was missing out was ME!! This book is up there in contingency with the Exorcist for the scariest book I’ve ever read!!! And I loved every scary minute of it. This book is scarier than It. It’s honestly better across the board shhhhh don’t tell Stephen or Pennywise.
This is a compilation of great things. Scary/spooky from the start, but no real idea what is going on. Great cast of characters. They are all well fleshed out with interesting perspectives, and family dynamics. Intelligent story telling with a really dynamic history that actually makes sense. Graphic terrifying imagery that jumps off the page. Finally a solid ending with GIANT risks and a big payout. It’s 5/5
I can’t recommend this enough. Especially if you want to be scared, and prepare yourself for spooky season!
