The Land of Nod

This is the type of book that holds my interest and won't let go. I thought it was pretty neat how Clements fused past and present into the story line. The characters are fun, especially the demented boy ruler of Nod. By far the best part was when the characters play `guns' with toy weapons that actually shoot bullets and kill people. This is the kind of dark fantasy that I enjoy, a great one!

Mark Clements is one of the few writers who gets better with each book he turns out. One thing stays the same about his work he's always gives you a great and unpredictable read. THe Land of Nod, his last book is also my favorite. A lawyer goes back to Indiana to face his childhood demons and one thing is for sure- Thanks to Clements, I'm never going to vacation in Indiana (or any place that has trees!) In order to make sense of my review you'll have to read the book
