Blind Fall

The 5 reader reviews being shown on this page are almost perfectly bipolar: 1 star or 5. Perhaps this book holds up a mirror to many readers and some don't like what they see. None of the reviewers are commenting on the audiobook, so it is worth mentioning that Frederic Weller does an excellent job performing this story.

But with my penchant for reading a lot of gay themed fiction, I persevered with this one and was pleasantly surprise......more

It's been quite a while since I've picked up a Christopher Rice novel. Not for lack of interest -- I buy each book as it is released but then somehow they sit on the shelf. So I added Blind Fall to my 2013 "To Be Read Challenge" list. I enjoyed the book, but not as much as A Density of Souls or The......more

Blind Fall is the first Christopher Rice novel that I have read. I have seen his novels in the past, but having heard the news that he and his mother, Anne, were writing the sequel to "The Mummy," I wanted to experience Christopher Rice's writing style. I picked up this book and another one of his,......more
