Glass

By Jim W. Coleman

Book Overview

This novel much like my previous book, "Omens" deals with adult themes of abuse and domestic violence. I find it abhorring that sex offenders "with a high likelihood of re-offending" are being put... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Coleman is a master of the horror genre.

Within the first 5 pages, I was riveted by the various characters and thoughtful, precise style of writing. The dream sequences were especially haunting. "Glass" has a great chance of becoming one of the finest in its genre. I am looking forward to reading his other works. A very fine writer, indeed.

"Glass" needs to be looked at

This is my first Coleman book and I found it to be a page turned. I spent the weekend reading "Glass" and was happy to have spent my time reading an excellent piece of fiction. It is on the dark side of life, but Coleman does a good job of keeping your attention. The story line alternates between the real and dream worlds of the main character, Eric. The author's ending is not your normal, "Everyone lives happily ever after" ending. I believe that Coleman has a keen insight to the topics that he writes about and that brings some reality to an unreal story. It is a great read and I look forward to more books written by Jim Coleman.

The Next Steven King

I read this novel by Mr. Coleman and it ROCKS! I truly believe he will be the next Steven King. Don't get me wrong, I love Mr. King and have read ALL his novels and watched ALL his movies. But Coleman is on his way to the top and rapidly I might add. If you love a good suspense thriller you MUST read this novel. I am sure that once you start, you will not put it down until the last word has been read. I will very soon be purchasing the rest of the novels that Mr. Coleman has in print and will be waiting for the newest ones to be published. This is a must read, you will not regret!!

COLEMAN'S BEST OF THREE (SO FAR!)

I have read all three of Jim Coleman's books, "Secret Things," "Omens," and now, "Glass." Of them all, this has to be my hands-down favorite. Filled with suspense, forensics procedures, courtroom drama, elements of horror and intense characterizations, this book kept me reading late into the night. But if you are one who lies awake and trembles in the night at any strange sound or thump in your house, this is a book you'll want to read during daylight hours only. I eagerly await Coleman's next book...but he's going to have a real challenge dreaming up something better than "Glass."
