I wasn't sure if I should put a review of this one up or not as I didn't finish it. But I felt that this book was bad enough to warn others away. I've read a few of Laymon's novels before and while they are not quality literature, they can tend to be somewhat enjoyable. This was not. This was just downright boring.Laymon's books tend to follow a simple pattern. Young people (anywhere from teenagers to young adults) wide up being a mass killer or chased by one. Usually end up naked for most of the book and they usually find plenty of time to have a bit of sex. Not sure why I've read his books in the past, but the past books I've read at least keep the action going enough to hold my interest. This one was just dull. Sure the pattern was holding true, but there was no action to go along. Just nothing really happening. Perhaps it was all building to a big climax, but I just didn't feel like wasting my time on this one. So back on the shelf it goes....in fact it's going to be listed on Amazon or Paperbackswap soon. No need to have this one take up shelf space. 1/10

Although I haven't read one of his books for awhile, I definitely agree with the outline that you posted! This author dies a few years back, and I remember reading that they were planning on publishing works left behind. I've been in no hurry to pick them up.
