Underground
by
Once upon a time there were seven good friends. They were the forgotten little brothers and sisters of the Big Chill generation, born in the turbulent year when the flames of Watts lit the City of Angels and napalm kissed the war-torn skies of Vietnam. They called themselves The Underground. For Justin and Mia, Josh and Caroline, Amy, Seth, and Simon, there was nothing but

Rob’s Critical Book Review: “Underground,” by Craig Spector
Though I’m sure to upset some authors and publishers who, understandably, want five-star reviews, I’ve my own definition of the five-star system.
*One Star: A crime against God and man.
*Two Stars: Poor, or otherwise not ready for publication.
*Three Stars: A solid work worth the money/read.
*Four Stars: A superior, award-worthy achievement.
*Five Stars: A standard setter, a work to stand the test of time, a work to be studied and read again ...more

It's been a while since I've read a book by Spector. The last was TO BURY THE DEAD. It seems that since his partnership with John Skipp dissolved that neither of them are writing as fast. I know Skipp has been busy with a bunch of other things but I haven't heard as much from Spector. Not a 'dis; just an observation. A ton of possible reasons for the quiet and privacy. Anyway, UNDERGROUND is an enjoyable book but there were also a few points with which I was disappointed.

Too much power
is to blame
for all the lives
taken for gain.
A slave to a master.
A remembrance of pain
is not easily forgotten
for it is ingrained.
To be less of a person.
An animal trained to fear.
To not be man.
A lash or a shear.
Humiliation a friend.
Worth nothing, a tear.
To cry out for injustice.
To bow down and pretend.
To suffer another's sin.
Can there be any wonder
why time does not amend?

Seven high school friends gather for a drink-and-drug fueled party at the familial mansion of one of their number, opening a door to a hellish world created by their leader's evil ancestor. One will die, one will vanish; all of them will bear the scars of that night. But eventually, they'll need to go back.

I agree, this book had a lot of potential. Too many deviations...I skipped a bunch.
Intriguing enough to finish, but tedious enough to skim through massive portions to get it done.
When a group of friends go to Curvis manor to celebrate the end of Senior year, they open a breach to a demoniac dimension. 20 years later they go back to the mansion to try and close the portal.
The premice of this book was very interesting but I have to say i was a little disappointed. It sometimes feels like a history lesson on slaves and you can feel lost in it. THe parts in the "hell" are very well written but unfornatly too short.
All in all, not the best book I've read but still good.

This book had a lot of potential. It feels like an epic novel that was cut short by 200 or so pages. The set up and cast of characters warranted a longer tale. Instead it rushes to an end that doesn't quite satisfy.
