This third book really joins together the first two books and makes sense of a lot of things that happened in both. After reading this book, you will know why things happened as they did in the first two books. While I was happy to spend more time with familiar characters, particularly Reggie from book two, the storyline has shifted away from what hooked me on the prior books.
In my opinion this is no longer the weird horror fiction that I so enjoyed from the previous books. This has become more...more

James has really created a storyline that draws the reader deeper and deeper into his bizarre worlds and realities. He has characters who make you want to know more about each of them and because of that, what could be a very complicated sell with the layers of reality and worlds he introduces the reader to, we are able to keep from getting lost in the complexity of it all. He tantalizes the reader along with very slow character development which, because they are such great characters, makes yo...more
This book is a continuation of the story told in "Diary Of The Displaced", but it has a much different feel.
Much of what was left unexplained in the first book is revealed in this one, and the answers are quite a bit different than I expected them to be.
Without giving too much away, the first was more of a survival horror novel and this one is more of a science fiction adventure novel, but they are both good and exciting reads.

When James Halldon escapes his prison that is the Corridor, he, Rudy, Adler, and DogThing, his maw friend, set out on a new adventure. Along the way they come across new creatures that Cutterjack has created. When James meets Reg, he travels in a new direction, searching for the Sisters of Rahl. Many hardships come along the way, but when they reach the Sisters, James's memory will return. When he learns about his family, and those he left behind, he returns to the Corridor to complete a deal,...more
Not QUITE as incredible as part 1, Diary Of The Displaced, but still a very good read. We get a lot of answers to the questions that we were left with at the end of book 1...for instance what exactly had been going on during the whole book and why James couldn't remember why he was there?! So that was definitely a plus. I thought the author did that in a very unique way. Yes, we've seen flashbacks before but these were different to say the least. These flashbacks completely took control of James...more
I loved this book just as much if not more than its predecessor. In this second installment we learn more about our hero, James Halldon, and antagonist, Cutter Jack. The environment and characters are rich and unique. The detail so clear and vivid the reader might as well be walking along with James and Dogthing. This series is definitely a must read for fantasy readers of all ages. I haven't been so enthusiastic about a fantasy series since Eddings Belgarid, or King's D.T. series.
Following on from the Diary of the Displaced: The Journal of James Halldon we follow our intrepid survivor as he discovers the answers to his many questions, giving rise to some very surprising revelations and yet more questions. In the process not only do DogThing, Adler and Rudy stick by his side by he finds himself aquiring even more friends and supporters as he finds himself to be more well known and important than he could have imagined. The writing is superb and thoroughly engrossing and t...more
James has found himself in a new land, with a lot of new questions. This is only the first episode, but I am looking forward to the journey.
Worth the wait to find out what happened after 'Diary of the Displaced' - here's hoping it's a trilogy (at least)!
Glynn--did I mention that you rock!?!? I'm so happy reading your work that I can't stop smiling :)
More, please?
More, please?
This book is really interesting. I enjoy the journal style entry. It is so hardto put down. I wanted to keep reading and reading.
Another intriguing tale from Glynn James which sees James Halldon (and the readers) get some questions answered. Great to see some familiar faces from the author's others stories appear in the book, and I'm intrigued by the more fantastical elements introduced in this story (vampires and werewolves). The ending leaves the story open for a follow up which I eagerly await.
Yet another great book for Glynn Jame...hope he is working on another book... can't. get enough of his work. Thank you Glynn.
