Received Reborn! - Lysistrata - 07-16-2008
At least. I could not find it so far and it was maddening to gather together all those bits and snatches about R. rebirth without knowing exactly what had been going on.
Went to sleep at 4am yesterday, or rather this morning, after having received and read Secret Histories - guess it will be the same tonight with Reborn :p

Not yet through the middle of it, but I was glad to recognize

Amalia's Little Italy, yeah!

and pleased (somehow) to meet Jonah in person.

I think Reborn is FPW's most underrated book; I think it one of the best horror novels ever and Jonah is one of the main reasons why. He is so creepy.

Just finished Reborn, and, yes! Jonah IS creepy. He doesn't appear very much in the novel, yet you feel his presence looming behind, like a puppetmaster who would have his own puppetmaster.

I thought Black Wind was his most underrated novel

That maybe true outside of our little community, but many people here think it a masterpiece(rightfully so), while Reborn doesn't get the love, even from here(there was a thread a while back about it).

hmmm I think that link proves that y'all can argue about anything
It has been a long time since I read reborn, and I really dont remember it all that well. I think though that it reminded me of Rosemary's baby. I didnt dislike it, I just dont remeber it.
Black Wind I read equally as long ago, and I will never forget that book. It was just so amazing. Therefore to me it is underrated because it should have been a best seller.
But I wont ever re-read Black Wind. But I probably will re-read Reborn at some point.

Black Wind is my favorite book of all time(in fact my very first post about 6 years ago[yikes!] was a plea to FPW to write another like it) and I've reread it twice and it's extremely rare for me to read any book more than once.

I also thought that Reborn was a great novel (and a fitting way for R to be brought back). I love the zombie scene at the end. And the low-tech Eugenics project that Jonah starts after he makes sure that R is reborn is fiendishly evil (and makes for an excellent Jack book in Bloodlines).
I seem to remember someone mentioning that the Kicker-man (from the book written by Jonah's son) features in By the Sword as well (haven't read it yet).
If that is true, then we also, in a way, have Jonah to thank for bringing Black Wind into the Jack Saga as well.
What a nice way to tie this divergent thread (Black Wind) back into it's original subject (Reborn).
Heh.
