Commentary During Books The Girl in a Swing

A shy young man meets a beautiful woman in the company of a young girl. He finds himself swept off of his feet and married to her, bringing her with him to live in his family home. She is his erotic dream come true; she does everything she can to bind him to her and join him in his comfortable life.

Soon, however, odd things begin to happen. Things in the house are strangely damp with what looks like seawater, bodies appear under the water that aren't really there. It all winds up to a horrifying conclusion.

Discuss Of Books The Girl in a Swing

This was one of those books which can be read with enjoyment once but as a lifetime is so short and there so many excellent novels to be read, one can hardly imagine wishing to read again. There was a television series in the UK in the 1970's with horror stories of 45 minutes and this story would have provided a good script for one of those. The novel is arguably a little too long for the stroy line and there is perhaps too much aficionado talk about porcelain and pottery as opposed to the

A ghost story with a lot of sex. Creepy as hell.

All the detail about ceramics in the story is absolutely fascinating, but what immediately hooked me is that the protagonist Alan Desland has a gift for ESP which surfaces unpredictably and randomly through his life. Such paranormal sequences give an eerie undertow to the story and promise harrowing things to come.The Girl in a Swing is addictively readable. Those descriptions of the ceramics trade and Alan's early psychic experiences set the scene for the turning point when he visits Copenhagen

I hardly know how to describe this book. It started out very slowly, and I was wondering if I'd have the patience to work my way through it, but suddenly it captured me completely, and I read the last 200 pages in one sitting.It is so very, very different from Watership Down that it's almost hard to believe it was written by the same author.

This novel of the supernatural is among the very few modern horror novels I've ever read which follows the classical format: in that the author unleashes a full, powerful, walloping, knockout-punch of crazy, disturbing horror only at the very end of the story. Its extremely singular in this regard. You rarely see this done, nowadays.What makes this different from anything found in Koontz, Saul, Straub, King, Barker, or McCammon? It is that this 'restraint' makes it much more of a genuine novel

The Girl in a Swing - Richard AdamsI was describing to my sister an event early in this book (the school experiment) and she said, "that's like Steven King". [Not implying that Adams is copying, he's an original.] She's right -- i'd not thought of it, but that's one way to descibe how this book is different from some of his other books. That and that this book is not about rabbits, dogs, horses, or cats.But there's no mistaking Adams -- the strong geographic base and wandering in real terrain,
