Phenomenal! - By: , 07 Jun 1999 
A reallly great first novel with fascinating, believable characters & an engrossing plot. I can't believe some people found it boring -- I read the whole book in two days, just couldn't put it down! I guess they were hoping for a who-done-it, but COMES THE DARK is a psychological thriller, & the suspense comes from seeing how the characters' lives intersect & how their secrets come out into the open in very dramatic, unexpected ways. Don't let the negative comments turn you off. This is a great book!
Boring!!!! - By: , 20 Apr 1999 
Although this was not the worst book I've ever read, (the reason for 2 stars instead of 1), it was pretty bad. I didn't care for any of the characters in it. The mythology was boring. In fact, the whole plot was boring. Don't bother with this one!!
WORST BOOK I EVER READ!! - By: , 17 Apr 1999 
I read alot of thriller, suspense, medical thrillers & this book was horrible!! By page 125 (less than 1/2 way thru) you know, who did it, why & how. Lots of suspense there.... NOT!! Also did I mention the supposed heroine is having an affair with the town police chief. I don't find people who have extramarital affairs particularly sympathetic people. And in the oldest of alll plot lines, she goes investigating in the dark cave by herself without mentioning to her boyfriend, husband or anyone where she is going. Ever seen Hallloween? People who go into dark places get into trouble - DUH. Don't waste your time or money on this book. Can't believe it even got published.
A REAL PAGE TURNER! - By: , 02 Apr 1999 
I reallly enjoyed this book! It kept me turning pages, just on more page...just one more page. The momentum of this book was fastpaced. I'm not big into mythological characters, but I had an idea of who they were by how Robert was discribing them along the way. It added to his character & the warped way his thoughts worked. The way this book was written, you even felt sorry for the villan in the end. This was & excellent book. I look forward to Michael Prescott's next book!
You are Great - By: , 07 Mar 1999 
We don't get much literature here in Northern Russia, but I couldn't put this book down. One star is good, no?
