Poor Richard Laymon, he was born into the wrong world. The Eskimos live in a world of snow and have a hundred words for it, but Richard Laymon lived in a world of nipples and had only the one word. One single, lousy word. Nipple.
Sure, there were 'hard nipples' and 'long nipples', even more exotic 'glistening' or 'jutting' nipples - but in the end, it was all just nipples, nipples, nipples. So many adjectives, just one lonely noun.
No, if life was fair Richard Laymon would have been born into a ti...more

Man, this is one of the best Laymon books I have read. Once again, suspension of disbelief is a must, but this is the case with most horror fiction. Only, with this book, you are dealing with a magic bracelet that, once kissed by the one wearing it, allows you to leave your body and "ride" anyone you want. A cool premise, delivered in Laymon's usual style, with a twist and resolution I never saw coming. I have been on a Laymon kick lately, and this one and After Midnight are my two favorites, fo...more

They’re the literary equivalent of watching a low-budget slasher flick while riding a dilapidated old roller coaster – a deliciously enjoyable thrill ride that doesn’t require much from the reader, other than to strap in, hold tight . . . and enjoy.

Body Rides is pretty much an average Laymon tale, but still more fun than anything else you’re likely to read this summer. The basic plot is pretty simple. After rescuing a beautiful woman from a vicious serial killer, Neal finds himself gifted with a bracelet that allows him to leave his body and hitch a ride in anybody he chooses, experiencing their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. During his first long-distance ride, Neal discovers that not only is the serial killer he left for dead very much alive, but he’s come to finish the job . . . and there’s nothing Neal can do but watch from inside his victim.

A large portion of the book is dedicated to Neal’s initial flight (from the authorities & the killer) and his relationships with two women who become key to the eventual resolution of the story. By the end, all three of them have used the bracelet for various voyeuristic, investigative, erotic, and frightening body rides. Although the story could have been a good 100 pages shorter, Laymon’s books are always as much about the experience and the atmosphere as they are about the plot, and that’s part of the thrill.

Personally, I would have loved to share more in Neal’s experiences riding along in either Sue or Marta’s body, but we certainly get our fair share of Sue experiencing Neal – and the novelty/curiosity is certainly handled very well.

Like I said, nobody is ever going to accuse Laymon of being the greatest writer of the 20th century, but that’s fine. Nobody is going to accuse Friday the 13th of being the greatest example of 20th cinema either, but it’s still damned fun to watch with the lights out.(less)

It’s been hard. (No pun intended for those male readers).

I’ve been mulling for days.

I guess I should start off by saying that I was forewarned about Mr. Laymon and his needs, his plot requirements, his fantasies ….. that all kind of entwine and become the horror of the story itself. They weren’t exaggerating. Mr. Laymon is a fan of the jiggly, bouncy endowments of the young female nubiles and what it – they – do to shut down the thinking and logistic capabilities of the male brain. Big time. There were times that this book really just felt like a really bad ‘B’ porn flick and the horror was that I had to endure it. * shudders at recollections *

Honestly – there were times when I was reading that I wanted to reach in and head butt the characters. I can’t vouch for how a male mind works ….. but does it really just stop functioning when a set of mammary glands is close by, or when a skirt hikes up a bit on a girl’s thighs? Really? Tell me straight on that guys. I’m finding it hard to understand.

Anyways ….

I won’t delve too deeply into the plot – suffice it to say that our hero rescues a beautiful (naked) woman from the devious, vicious torments of a killer(using pliers!!) and is rewarded for this act of bravery with a magical bracelet that allows the wearer to have an out of body experience and delve into (spiritually) whomever they want, unknown to the host. And our hero, Neil, does just that … on several occasions … only to mire himself into a mess and into the crosshairs of someone who may possibly want to kill him.

It’s magical. It’s devious. It’s a young man’s absolutely best sexual fantasy ever. It ain’t called ‘Body Rides’ for nothing.

Now the horror element – the ‘splatterpunk’ horror that Richard Laymon is renown for, the no holds barred horror, the in your face horror – is teased about throughout the story but is contained in the last 50 or 60 pages. It’s definitely gruesome and is meant to make you squeamish. In a word – it’s gross.

But the real horror of this book was the fact that you, as the reader, become a part of the story as a ‘Body Ride’ of the story and you will find that you can’t get out of it. You need the resolution. You have to ride it out to the end, even through all that ‘B’ grade porno. That’s the real horror.

Good luck Suckers!!! This one will keep creeping back into my mind for a while.

It's been a while since I read a good horror and thought this sounded good. I was wrong. The premise is guy hears screaming in the middle of the night, rescues woman from nut job just in time, and she gives him the gift of what sounds like a really trashy snake bracelet which allows him to enter other people's bodies and hear their thoughts and feel what they feel without their knowledge. So the start isn't so bad but the rest is misogynistic crap. What does this guy do with this special power?...more

One of my ultimate top favorites by Laymon. Gave me EPIC dreams after reading it, and very few books actually get into my dreams. xD

I loved the whole idea, it was just unique to me and the characters were terrificly done. Been trying to get my husband to read this but he doesn't like horror books lol. It's well worth a read; imaginative and got the right amount of thrills that you'd expect from Laymon.

My favorite part had to be the ending though. It was memorable, adorable in a strange way (lol)...more

Inhalt
Ein junger Mann der auf den Namen Neil hört, rettet eine Frau vor einem Killer. Diese Frau, schenkt ihm als Dank ein magisches Armband mit welchem er in andere Personen eindringen kann um deren Gedanken zu hören.
Am Anfang ist das Ganze auch noch sehr prickelnd und unterhaltsam für Neil doch schon bald wird daraus mehr als nur prickelnde, leichte Unterhaltung...
Charaktere
Neil, der junge mutige Mann der eines Nachts einer schreienden Frau zur Hilfe eilt und sie aus den Klauen eines Mörders befreit und darauf hin dieses ominöse Armband geschenkt bekommt.
Dann haben wir Elise, die Frau die Neil aus Dankbarkeit das Armband schenkt.
Marta, Neils Freundin, wird sofort von ihm in die ganze Geschichte eingeweiht und unterstützt ihn wo es nur geht. Doch am liebsten wäre es ihr wenn er zur Polizei gehen würde, das sie Neil aber anders. Selbst ist der Mann.
Auf seiner Suche/Flucht vor dem Killer trifft er Sue, sie begleitet ihn und die Beiden kommen sich näher.
Und natürlich darf auch der Killer nicht fehlen, der von Neil ,Rasputin genannt wird.
Schreibstil
Der Schreibstil ist locker und wie von Laymon zu erwarten auch wieder sehr anzüglich.
Aber das störte mich, wie auch schon bei seinen anderen Büchern nicht.
Die Spannung blieb diesmal auf der Strecke. Das Buch fing gut an aber dann ließ die Spannung rapide nach und konnte auch nicht mehr aufgebaut werden.
Fazit
Das schlechteste und langweiligste Buch das ich je von Laymon gelesen habe. Es kommt nicht im Geringsten an seine anderen Werke wie z.B. Die Jagd, Das Spiel, Finster, Nacht oder Rache ran.
Die Geschichte mit dem Armband hat mir gar nicht gefallen. Klar stand das hinten auf dem Buchrücken drauf aber ich kaufte es mir trotzdem. Denn ich habe so viele gute Bücher von ihm gelesen das ich auch in dieses Buch mein ganzes Vertrauen gesetzt habe.
Gut da wurde ich diesmal eines Besseren belehrt.
Jeder der noch nichts von Laymon gelesen hat aber gerne mal etwas von ihm lesen möchte würde ich die von mir genannten Bücher empfehlen.
Aber nicht dieses!(less)

I love Richard Laymon. He writes stories that read like b-grade slasher flicks. Always fun. Always bloody. Always in bad taste.

With that being said, this book sucks, badly. The first 50 pages are decent, typical Laymon. Woman in trouble, crazy killer. Then this book goes off the deep end. It turns into a romance novel. The main character Neal, get laid more in the next 250 pages, than in a porn script. It is boring, repetitive, and unbelievable.

I was reading at lightning speed and had the biggest grin on my face. Laymon's books are just so much fun! Extremely gory, sexually graphic, and refreshingly unpredictable, BODY RIDES is among the best of his books (IN THE DARK, ISLAND, NO SANCTUARY are just a few).

Richard Laymon's Body Rides takes the same idea and runs with it in this book, making for an exciting and fast read that somehow spans over 500 pages yet it takes the reader all his might to tear away from the story. I can honestly say that this was a great week, reading this book, living through each character, not wanting it to end ever...

Not many writers give me goose bumps the way Laymon does. The simple act of opening one of his books and looking at the font, especially the ones printed by Leisure Books hits me hard and I know I am in for another fantastic ride, this time it was a ride through living bodies.

Neal is an unusual type of a hero. He has a big heart but also a strong drive for desire and falling in love, although pretty genuinely, with many women through this tale ( I stopped counting after three) and his slight air of hesitation about certain situations only made the book more real. I prefer characters with flaws, I don't want to read about a perfectly molded plastic person that can almost fly and defeat any problem with a blink of an eye. One night he decides to return some movies at a very late hour and on his way he hears screams through the open window of his car. He manages to interact something gristly going on and saves Elise, a woman who has a wonderful reward for him, a gold serpent like shaped bracelet with emerald eyes that when kissed, transports the wearer into anyone's body, listening on their thoughts and feeling everything they feel.

The only problem is that the killer is not really dead but angrily perusing Neal, ready to pay back for the wounds he received. Neal on the other hand was having more fun trying to pop into his hot neighbors, creepy people on the streets, girls he found hot and even into the man that is on his trail for blood than going to the police or trying to set the man up. The reader meets his girlfriend Martha and various other figures that play a huge role in the book. There are so many twists and turns that I was glad I read all the reviews fore this book AFTER I was done reading it. Being able to go into anyone with Neal was fantastic as I was always anticipating new people he could run into. When Neal finally decided to go away and hide he ran into Sue, another major character that changed his life. I was heavily annoyed with her, especially since Neal had a girlfriend and I could smell what was about to happen between Neal and Sue but in the end it all made sense and I loved the story.
Bulk of the tale was focused on Neal going into people and trying to use them to his advantage while trying to find the bad guy and nail him before he gets killed first.

I adored the ending; it made the book for me. It was very surprised to find reviewers who hated it, but I guess everyone has different tastes since I was blown away and completely satisfied. Neal went through hell and back and I only wish the bad guy played a bigger part although he was so evil that even a small appearance scared me. In the end I wished I had the same bracelet, just for the fun of it.

For those who keep complaining about Laymon and his over use of sexuality, gore and craziness they sure keep coming back for more, go figure, I think they secretly like it... (less)

It was a cool idea to have a bracelet where you can go body-hopping any time you want. The execution fell a little flat but overall the premise was good. As the back blurb reads, Neal gets sidetracked one night returning video tapes with a man torturing and murdering a gorgeous female. Putting on an act of bravery, he shoots the man, captures the woman, and saves the day. The ending should have him walking off with whistles and high fives shouldn't it?

Things go wrong when something else tragic happens, and soon Neal ends up getting other people mixed up in his mess. Things go from bad to ugly to worse as he and his accomplices try to track down the man before he finds them first. The plot is interesting in many ways, and the characters are likeable to a degree. Many of the scenes are tense and nail-biting, and there is a sense of "us against them" going down.

However, a lot of emphasis is placed on sex. Now, while I usually don't mind that and enjoy sex in my books -- there was a bit too much here to where it took away from the plot. Tension scenes were broken up to remove pants, character interaction was a little muddled as someone else got horny yet again, and things became a little too unrealistic and akin to soft porn.

When tension is supposed to be there, it is. Laymon really is a Master at getting things going strong and sturdy. At key moments the atmosphere was powerful and dynamic.

Neal is a loveable guy -- this man would cry at a wedding, a funeral, a christening, an engagement. He has a true heart -- one big enough to swallow everyone else around him up. He's a genuine sweet fella, and I couldn't help but really like him. Usually men aren't shown to be so emotional, but he was, and came across convincing. Sue came across as fun and chipper at first but eventually wore down on my nerves. Not her attitude, but just the way everything just fell into place for her. Started wearing me out. As for Marta, I thought she bent a bit TOO easily and was slightly unrealistic and two dimensional. The deeds of the "bad guy" are certainly violent. At times his actions come across a little too extreme, almost like he's there for a little bit of shock factor.

The pace starts out well but then slows down. Mainly it's all the unnecessary sex and dialogue pertaining to lust. Again, this can be a huge strength in a novel and I'm certainly no prude when it comes to the hot and steamy stuff. But here it's used in so much excess it's un-needed, producing awkwardness and teenage angst. Pretty soon it seems like about half of the book only focuses on hormones, not horror.

On a more positive note, Laymon writes beautifully. His words are well chosen, his sentences easily flow together, his dialogue is realistic enough, and the rhythm of his work is exceptional. If only the pace and plot of this one had been worked on more.

Like a cheap condom, too much of a good thing can wear a bit too thin. This is what happened in Body Rides. A nice editing would have trimmed it up the sides, perhaps some more action and less on bedroom play, and more focus on what's important -- the story. But what we have after awhile is a book a bit too long for what it's covering, a story that drags like sheets being pulled on the floor, and mushy (unrealistic) character interaction. It's not a complete lost cause, however; I really liked Neal, the tension was tightly wound at some points, and the ending was pretty cool. Also the idea itself was unique.

If you're a fan of Laymon pick this one up....or, most likely, if you're just curious about all the sex scenes (almost an orgy too) pick this one up .(less)

I'm a huge Richard Laymon fan and have read about 20 of his books. This, I felt, was one of his lesser works. It starts off incredibly, and I thought I was in for an epic thriller in the Laymon tradition, but instead the book meanders and shuffles around for way too long, and actually it became a bit of a chore to read. The concept behind the novel is incredible, and the passages of the book where Laymon explores this concept are excellent. It just seemed that the book as a whole didn't explore...more

I had never heard of Richard Laymon until last year...and wow...what a suprise he was. I normally don't go for much horror or sc-fi (most of it reminds too much of the X-Files).

Laymon's prose is to the point and easy to follow. He not only had a mastery for written word but for leading the reader down twisting corridors of a story. Compulsively readable and delves deep into the hellish parts of human existance. No alien visitor BS here. True human terror.

Okay so before I joined my book club they read this book. Every meeting they talk about it. Every book is compared to it in some way. Wow, now I know why. This book is awful. The only reason it got two stars is that it would make a great short story. 100 pages long just the start and the very end this would be a a good story. The middle of the book is total drivel. Horrible dialog, unbelievable decisions. The characters are so one dimensional.
