I was pleasantly surprised and felt Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction book was deserving of

top stars. The multiple threads running through the story intersect in a way that of course you expect, but written in such a manner that the reader feels the excitement of close calls, the frustration of people and sometimes life , and how in the end it can work out. The story was quite engaging and enjoyable. A story about a college student, his fractured family, and a parolee who happens to be dying.I enjoyed the Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction book and the characters.

The ending and sneak peak into another book by the author does intrigue me to read it as well.I loved this book so much that I read most of it in one day. Intending to “just finish this chapter”, I found myself reading one more and then one more until I finished them all. The story, while a little far fetched at times, is incredibly compelling.

The author's contribution in the personal energy of each character seemed present in some ways for some characters, and present in other characters in other ways, which leant first-hand and "informed" believability to the tale. I found the structure suprisingly elegant, and one that delivered on multiple levels, and added additional enjoyment to the read. It seems carefully and lovingly put together and is generous with useful and hopeful insights to compensate for the realistic portrayal of predation, intolerance, violence and the evils that challenge us, yet make this suspensful thriller so fun.This was a good read with an interesting mystery and solidly developed characters.

Having read other similar mysteries, it did not really surprise me. I was a bit disappointed with the last quarter of the book for this reason.An excellent story. The plot is believable and the characters are engaging. This is one of those hidden gems that never made it to anyone's top 10. You have to look for it but once you find it you won't be disappointed.

I found Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction book compelling and couldn't put it down.

I gave it four stars because I found the embedded love story a little too predictable; still , it was a highly enjoyable read!Wonder book. Unbelievable that things written in this book really happened. The book is fiction but the facts has been taken from records. Every child should be loved as God intended. Would highly recommend this book. A must read.This is a wonderful and heart breaking book to read.

I am both sad and glad to have learned about this awful time in the history of adoption. It was a well written and well researched book and I recommend it for everyone.I could not put this book down. The story was well written and based on events that actually happened. The story of the sisters is fictionalized but The Tennessee Children's Home was a terrible place where children were used as pawns to make money. The story of family, love and sisters is inspirational.I was intrigued by this book because it was based on a true story. The author writes so well, and the story flows effortlessly, I couldn't put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good story that will pull you in, and look forward to the next moments you can steal away to read what happens next.Excellent page turner about a dismal epic in history. The uplifting conclusion serves to restore a positive frame around what could have been a very tragic picture. Characters, both from the present and past, are well drawn. Ultimately, a tribute to truth and the power of family.
