Query: Author had a few "issues"

First of all, I think Laymon had some talent. He did seem to have good characterizations. I am going to try more Laymon books. Now that I said that, Laymon probably never got any action in his lifetime and had to fantacize repeatedly about the complete absence of bras in his fantasy world. Like other reviews: characters were not 16, more like 12. Ending was a complete cop out. After all of the trauma these characters went through, everything seems to be all peachy keen for them in the end. More realisticly, none of the characters that made it to the end could have ever looked at each other again and they would all be in therapy for the rest of their lives. If Laymon had spent a little more time on the ending and a little less time fantacizing about nude or nearly nude women, this review would have been much higher.
