  Not even an okay read!
  
  One of the cover blurbs said the first three pages were just fantastic (or words to that effect). And they pretty much were - they had a real sense of dread. The rest of the book was a let down. The young boys weren't interesting or engaging. They were boys for only a few chapters and then they were adults and even less interesting. As for the plot -- did anyone really understand it? It was so complicated it ended up being laughable. I won't go into it if someone has the time to waste reading it, but I in no way recommend this book.

  Great book again
  
  I have read both of Gord Rollo's books and he is a really good writer. His books flow and are hard to put down. I can't wait for his next book.

  I picked up Crimson on a wim, looking for a quick read over the Spring Break (I am a teacher).It was my first experience with the author, and I found it entertaining. Crimson reminded me of "It", and for some reason, it made me think of "Boys Life" by Robert McCammon. The pace was even and the action was fun...not overly scary, but creepy enough. I look forward to reading more by the author.

  Good Read
  
  Not familiar with Gord Rollo, I wasn't sure what to expect. Half-way through the book, I didn't know what to expect next!
  
  Crimson is a pretty quick read with not time spent on character development. The reason? There's no time with everything going on with the story line. The book is extremely fast paced and will keep you guessing until the end what will happen next. And, even at the end, Gord throws you for another loop.
  
  So bottom line, Crimson is a creepy, fun read that will keeping you wondering what will happen next until the last paragraph.

  Enjoyable
  
  This is one of the books that seemed to change a little during the course of reading it. At times the story and character progress was being pulled in directions that I didn't see coming, and for those reasons I was very pleased and happy. What started out as an entertaining coming of age horror story turned into a suspenseful race to the end of two (three) of it's characters. I still feel sorry for David.
