Summary: The brilliant and the bizarre
Comment: I read this book in a couple of days over christmas. Many books I buy, I don't get past the first chapter, but not this one. The action dragged me in, and Joyce's prose flows freely on the page. I thought the imagination behind the Tooth Fairy was vivid and poignant. The tooth fairy was as troubled a soul, as the three boys growing up in this tale. Sam, Clive, and Terry where great characters. There were some parts of this book that I couldn't get into, the nightmare interceptor, the mad inventor, and an incident involving a razor blade and an orange. Some of these elements were introduced into the plot, but not resolved to my satisfaction.
However, the relationship that develops between the Tooth Fairy and Sam, is something that I can read over and over again, and enjoy it each time.

Summary: Like Drinking vinegar spiked with Sewage Water
Comment: As I only have so many hours in which to consume good quality writing, I am sad to say that some of that time was spent in reading this book. I didn't even finish it. 10 full chapters then I started to speed read it to at least understand the story. I may or may not finish speed reading it, just so I can discuss it with my Sci Fi Reading Club. I would return it to the library if it wasn't for the fact I might want to discuss it with others in my group. But what I have read is enough to make me want to throw out what was on my plate.
Reading it made me feel as if I had been drinking vinegar spiked with Sewage Water. With the idea of a Tooth Fairy Story, I thought it would be layered with mystery, fantasy, awe and wonder. Instead it is layered with a scarry depressing raunchy tooth fairy. The story was anything but interesting and was a crude and tasteless venture of writing. I didn't care about the characters and was not happy to be in their presense. If I sound too harsh, that's because the taste left in my mouth after reading this book really tastes terrible and this is my way of saying.......... Y U C KKKKKKKKKKKKKKk

Summary: With teeth
Comment: I found Graham Joyce's writing simply gorgeous in its darkness and lush imagery. The story, however, felt unfocused. As I delved deeper into the novel, it seemed to become more and more prurient and distasteful, and all without a point. I did stop halfway through, so the final pages might have had something that tied it all together, but I just found that I didn't care about any of the characters. None were likeable, and the strange Tooth Fairy creature just didn't interest me enough to continue. I might pick up another of Joyce's books later though because his writing is magnificent.
