Cuts Richard Laymon 9781477806265 Books
Of all of Laymon's books that I have read, this is by far my least favorite. It sounded entertaining enough; I like serial killer books, all of the reviews on here made it out to be a great read... I haven't been this bored reading a book in a long time.Short summary: There's a 17 year old serial killer on the loose, armed with a switchblade. He successfully manages to evade the cops on a cross country killing spree even though he's not at all a bright individual. Meanwhile a pack of teachers who all teach at the same school have more drama going on between them then all of their students combined. Most of the teachers are cheating on their spouses, complete alcoholics, obnoxious, pretentious and violent. Of course there is one who isn't, his name is Ian and he's the quiet silent type - our obvious good guy. Then we have the girl fresh out of the bad relationship and just trying to find a nice guy - our obvious heroine. The young serial killer makes it with amazing speed across the country to our pack of teachers and well, that's the rest of the story.
The biggest problem I had with this book is that I didn't buy into it at all. Our serial killer is such a weak character that he's completely uninteresting. The majority of the book follows him across the country killing people as he goes... but there is no motivation, no quirks or fun things for the audience to get to know him. Perhaps he is supposed to be the epitome of evil, but in reality he just comes across as a dork with a knife that gets lucky. I don't have a problem with the main character of the book being a bad guy, but he's missing anything at all to attract me to the character, for example: the suave brilliant evil of Hannibal Lecter, the sheer insanity and maniacal genius of the Joker, the sinister apathy of that guy in Shindler's List... MAKE THE BAD GUYS INTERESTING. This bad guy was just so boring, and from there we cut back to the teachers. Everyone is miserable; they all quote famous novels and spout off philosophical BS at each other while cheating on their spouses, screwing their students, and whining about this or that. Now there are a lot of interesting characters mentioned on the back, most of them however are only bit players.
Like all Laymon books, love at first site is complete and unwavering. There are quite a few large plot holes, and I personally had a real issue with our leading female character who makes such a huge deal about being pregnant and how much she wants and loves the baby, then proceeds to drink alcohol and coffee on every page she's on. Add to that the realization that Laymon has no idea how women's clothing works (sorry Laymon, but raising your hands in a mini-skirt doesn't have the same effect as raising your hands in a short dress - try one on and you'll figure it out)
In the end what we have is 304 boring pages of empty characters having sex, dying, or lusting over one another. It's really rather sad... There are plenty of other Laymon books to read for a fun time, this is not one that I would recommend.

Cuts Richard Laymon 9781477806265 Books Reviews
Non-stop action and truly developed characters that you care about. The usual Laymon twists are present too. I won't give anything away. Give it a read and find out for yourselves.
As per most of Richard Laymon's books, I could not put this one down. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exciting read.
The kind of book I like. It kept my interest the entire way through. I would recommend it. Unless you are afraid of the dark.
I have read most of Laymon's books a like most of them, but this one was just awful. No need to delve into the plot (other reviewers have already done this). I know that it is fiction, but people just don't behave like the characters in this book. I would have liked it more if the characters weren't all extremes (completely pathetic, completely hopeless, completely heartless, completely crazy, etc). There isn't one character in this book that is even remotely believable. I don't think I have ever rolled my eyes so much reading a book. If you want to read good Laymon, read Island, Travelling Vampire Show, The Stake, and many others. Skip this one.
Just when you think you've figured it out--boom an new twist developes!
LOVE It
Fun, if your tastes run towards the gruesomely absurd! A "horror" novel that makes no apologies about its titillatingly singular purpose of grossing you out. This was my first Laymon read, and it wont be my last! As other reviewers have well articulated, his pacing was fast - it's a real page-turner,perfect for your next plane/train/bus ride. I found the twist ending a particularly "twisted" way to end the book.
All in all a fun time killer for you other sickos,just know what you're getting in to! My only regret is having missed his stuff in the past,but it appears most of his stuff is currently in print so im gonna snatch 'em up while I can!
Of all of Laymon's books that I have read, this is by far my least favorite. It sounded entertaining enough; I like serial killer books, all of the reviews on here made it out to be a great read... I haven't been this bored reading a book in a long time.
