5 Stars with a bullet!
I loved McCammon books but had yet to read
Swan
Song
. I saw that over 300 people had given this book 5 stars. Had to have it. Over 900 pages and I mowed through it and wanted more. I am a slow reader usually. I am doing good to get through a book of 350 pages in a couple of weeks if I really like it. I got through this 900+ in a week and a half. What a great read! The first few chapters kind of set things up for the coming nuclear holocaust and then the rest of the book is about survival. McCammon has a way of making you feel a part of the action and I loved every minute of it. A couple of moments that really caught my attention...Air Force One in flight after the devastation...some of the survivors contract a growth that eventually cover's their whole head like a hard shell - nicknamed the "Job's Mask." Really good characters and enough going on to constantly keep your attention.

Awesome
This book shocked me. I was looking for an end-of-the-world saga and I found it here, but it's so much more. It takes place over many years and follows a few different characters, not unlike The Stand. But I would recommend this novel over that one (not easy for me to admit though). At the start,
Swan
is a young girl with a crummy home life. She and a few others get caught underground when nuclear war erupts. Another young boy is in a government bunker with his family. A homeless woman is underground when it happens. The story follows them through the nuked world, trying to find survivors and comrades and avoid the bad guys looking to be back in charge.

This book will leave you feeling.........
I could say how great this book is. Or I could flatter the author with big words of glory and praise for a story well told. But I'd rather let someone else do the dirty work. The truth is that if you like or dislike fantasy, horror novels this books for you. In my young opinion this story unfolds like a prophetic nightmare more likely to unfold today than could have been imagined twenty years ago. A scary masterpiece that will truly leave you feeling.
An Epic Story You Just Can't Put Down
This is a very long book that spans almost a thousand pages. However,
Swan
Song
is a captivating story that keeps the reader hooked from start to finish. It's a delicious blend of horror, drama, science fiction and adventure.
It's been a long time since I first read this book (some 20 years ago), so some of the details of the story are a little hazy to me now. Fow many years Robert R. McCammon was my favourite author - and he's still one of my favourites to this day. And even though I no longer recall the story in fine detail, I remember it being the best McCammon novel I've ever read.
