Summary: Clever, funny, and entertaining
Comment: McCammon's last novel before he took a decade long hiatus is a must read for anyone that likes suspense books and has a sense of humor. This book is really funny in parts! The cast of characters are unique to say the least, including a guy who has a deformed twin brother growing out the side of his ribcage and an Elvis Presley impersonator. Certainly the lightest of all of McCammon's efforts, this book is an incredibly fun read.
I rank this book among all my personal McCammon favorites like Mine, Swan Song, Boys Life, and Speaks the Nightbird.
Rating: 4
Summary: A really good McCammon book.
Comment: I have just read Boy's Life, Gone South and Swan Song within the last weeks. McCammon is a very, very good writer and Gone South is a good book. The bounty hunters Flint and Pelvis are the comic touch. They are funny and on a desperate hunt for Dan carrying them deep into the swamps. The only weak point I would point out is the main character, Dan, who I find to be simply too uninteresting and too full of self pity to bring much sympathy, and really if it wasn't for Flint and Pelvis then it would be a bit bland. However Dan does pick up towards the end and the book has a way of putting you in the scene. I like too the way that the bounty hunters are likeable too. It's a fast read, and you keep turning the pages since the book hardly slackens down. It's not as good as Swan Song or Boy's life, but still a bit weaker book from McCammon is like a super book from most other writers.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good Enough
Comment: I read McCammon's "Swan Song" years ago and I loved it. This book is not anywhere near as good, but a decent read nonetheless. I rarely read fiction nowadays. Only Michael Crichton, Mario Puzo, and occasionally John Grisham can interest me in fiction anymore. I bought "Gone South" years ago and it's just been sitting around waiting to be read.
So, even though I don't read much fiction, I did enjoy this book. It kept me interested. And that, after all, is one of the reasons to read.
