i was initially horrified when i read reprisal a couple of months ago, but now i think that the content really was necessary to add to the intensity of the story and the evil nature of the villain.

For my money, it is the best horror novel ever written although it is part of something bigger and I think Paul's most underrated book period.

I found REPRISAL =truly= disturbing, Scott. But for my money, THE FIFTH HARMONIC is Paul's most underrated work.

I feel like I came to the dance five minutes before the musicians started packing up their gear.

I finished reading Reprisal about 30 minutes ago and it is the most disturbing book I have ever read. Were I not such a RJ junkie, if this had been the first book I read in the SHOTW, I wouldn't have picked up another. I was replaying the story of Danny over and over in my head yesterday and it's still bothering me. I have mixed emotions about the book (love it/hate it) because the characters seem so real and the story seems believable enough to have actually happened. I'm surprised I didn't have nightmares over this one.

On the other hand, if Reprisal was not brilliantly written, I would have deleted it from my kindle in a heartbeat. Once again, Mr. Wilson, I am left in awe of your storytelling ability and being able to pull me in so completely that I don't want to stop reading until it's over.

Now on to The Dark at the End...

Danny will haunt you.....I think it was meant to.

Agreed. I think that book and everything in it speaks more to the absolute evil of R than any of the other Adversary Cycle or RJ books. Really dark stuff that will stick with me for a very long time. But stuff that fit very well in establishing just what R was/is.
