Luke Swanson liked Jake Doberenz's review of The Ten: "Thrilling, humorous, and thought-provoking (but not in an overly preachy way). I’m ready for the TV series…"

This book drops the reader into a bizarre, surreal situation and does little to explain it. This could be some people's vibe, but it’s not really mine. I could see it working in a movie (a visual medium), but not so much as a novel. Very well-written ...more

One of my favorite horror books I’ve read in recent years. Brilliantly conceived and excellently realized. This would make a fantastic mini-series.

Boy oh boy. For a Christmas-living dude who’s constantly plagued by existential anxiety, this hit the spot. The very definition of bittersweet. A short-film director needs to snatch this up asap.

I first read this book during my sophomore year of high school. I remember being a bit underwhelmed even back then, and reading it again now, I feel similarly. While I would normally assume old books are too long-winded and wordy, I actually find "Dr ...more
