When eight people go on a cruise in the Bahamas, they plan to swim, sunbathe, and relax. Getting shipwrecked is definitely not in the script. But after the yacht blows up they’re stranded on a deserted island, and there’s a maniac on the loose.
Ok let me start by saying that RIchard Laymon is my favorite author. I have all of his novels and one that he even owned 🙂
I think Island is a great one to start with its fast paced and not as gruesome as Mr. Laymon can get at times.
Its a Castaway story with some twisted twists and some turns that will leave you scratching your head because sometimes you even cheer for them but then realize you shouldn’t be 🙂 Mr. Laymon wrote with incredible ease I have never read a bad book by him and I so dearly wish he was still with us to write more. So if you like horror and want to try someone new give Island a shot its a good intro to Mr. Laymon and an over great book.

Solid 4 stars from me. I understand why certain people are turned off by the horny teenager vibe in this book, but that is basically how horny teenagers think so I didn’t let it bother me. Island is the second Laymon book I’ve read and I am very interested in continuing to read his books.

A little too simplistic but quite entertaining. Although easy to figure out, the ending was interesting.

This is one of those books that you just can’t put down. It’s loaded with twists and turns and the story is very well told and flowing. It’s not something I would normally read but I really enjoyed it.

Good premise but too twisted!
Not has good as his other books
Weird read
