Darkness Falls

Let me start off the review by saying that I read the book before I saw the movie and in no way did the book make me not want to see the movie. So, I guess that's a good thing. Let me say next that the book is not scary in the least and at times is pourly written. The word choice is pour and some of the events that take place are done to fast and unclearly. But, those are the bad notes of the book; on the good notes, the book was written by an author who has also written a book based on the tv series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer...At times, the book is something well written that very much deserves to be read; it made me want to see the movie even more (.... So, pick up "Darkness Falls", it will at least make you wonder about The Tooth Fairy and "tricks of the light."

...Seriously, though, it's great to see a horror story come about where creating a frightening story is paramount over a body count. The story itself, to me at least, seems a bit of a mixture of 'The Blair Witch' and 'Pitch Black'. Also, the main character is not a goody-goody, nor is he the typical bad [guy] anti-hero. Instead, he's just a normal guy who has been tormented for most of his life by images of the Tooth Fairy.This book was such an easy and captivating read that I finished it one day, and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
