Currently reading: Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon

I can feel this post becomming a long one, as do so many of mine.

I'm only on page 30 of this book so far, and while many people will most definately feel that I have no standing on which way I can rate this novel from the shortness of my reading in this story, I believe I do... I will debate you on this, I will fight you. I will gather my followers and have an epic battle of this issue.... right, moving on;

This book is about the end of the world. The end of our world is only the beginning of this story. Many people have compared this to Stephen King's The Stand, which just so happens to be my favorite author. I have never read The Stand, but I have seen the movie... which I know is much worse than the book, but still. Just from being on page 30 I have been introduced to two amazingly deep characters which have the potential to become extremely powerful heroes. It's funny though, because the characters are a bag lady named Sister Creep who preaches in the streets of NY to all of the "sinners" and a large black wrestler named Black Frankenstein...

Anyway, the story involves the incarnation of evil refered to the man with the scarlet eye, or the man of many faces. The people ban together and blah blah blah. From what I have read on Amazon, there are mutated animal monsters and such in here, and also as I have read, it is much like The Stand, only the good is sweeter and the evil is more sadistic. Mwahahaha. I shall attempt to update this entry when I can to top off the finished product, but everything is so chaotic, so I really don't know when I'll even be able to finish this novel. I completely urge anyone who likes horror/apocolypse stories/or action to indulge yourself in this world that McCammon has woven.

[[PS: I would like to thank all of you for throwing that party for me on Thursday, I have NEVER had anyone do something like that for me before, and I just wanted to show my gratitude... okay, now I'm tearing up a little. I have to stop.]]
