Summary: Doo-doo-da-doo-doo. Doo-doo-da-doo-doo.
Comment: I can hear the eerie John Carpenter theme now. This book was actually cool. I've read all of the novels, including the three young adult titles, and consider this one to be one of the best. Try reading it after watching a news story on TV about gun control or gang violence in school and then you'll get the irony. This isn't as bloody as it should be, even though it was a novelization of the movie, but it still ranks as a terrific read. Other titles, if you can find them, to read: "Pretty Maids All In A Row," "Jason Lives: Friday the 13th part 6," "Blood High" and "Funhouse." By the way, Ana Alicia was the sexiest girl in the movie. Yowza!

Summary: More of the night HE came home. The nightmare continues!
Comment: This novelization of the mediocre sequel to one of the most successful independent horror movies of all time is a mixed bag. It is filled with spooky, late night atmosphere and tries hard to build tension and suspense from the filmsy story delivered by screenwriters John Carpenter and Debra Hill. On some levels it does succeed where the movie failed in sustaining suspense and atmosphere, but the lack of a strong story to anchor the events renders the chills meaningless. Jack Martin is a pseudonym for Dennis Etchison, who wrote the excellent novelization of Carpenter's ghost story classic The Fog.

Summary: A THRILLING NOVEL FOR THE FANS
Comment: This novel, the adaptation of the horror film, was quite a fine read.
The story: The continuation of part one, right from the second that it ended. The shape, Michael Myers, murdered several teenagers after escaping from a mental assylum the night before. He now follows the sole survivor to the hospital where she is brought. His psychiatrist, Sam Loomis, is hot on his trail.
The characters were extreamely believable and easy to relate to. The drugged up Laurie running from the killer. The psychiatrist slowly going mad in his quest to stop a patient. An unenthusiatic skeleton crew at a nearly abandoned hospital. All were handled well.
The author's prose was excelent. He went into fine detail throughout the novel, giving it a more believable feel. Unfortunately, this detail does not apply to the last few chapters. They seem rather hurried, as if the author just wanted to finish.
The terror, the violence, the suspense...all will appeal to readers whether a fan of the film series or not.
