The Traveling Vampire Show

I have read alot of books in my lifetime and when you're lucky enough to find an author you love, you read ALL of his books! This book took me by suprise. I love the usual fast paced writing of Richard Laymon of which, this book has none! It was one of the slowest, painful books to get through. For the most part of the book, literally, it was a love or should I say lust story about teens...UGH...the last few pages, and I mean that literally, the main characters actually get to the Traveling Vampire Show..then it was over...a huge thumbs down and waste of your time. I have no idea why anyone would rate this book anymore than one or two stars. Richard Laymon wrote it, other than that, they must not have read that many really good books to compare it with!! Some of his books are fantastic, others, like this one, a giant disaster! I will read them all in hopes of finding another gem.
