I've been in love with Robert McCammon's writing since high school. To this day my favorite novel of all time is his wondrous Boy's Life, and since I've read with much enjoyment Gone South, They Thirst, Stinger, and his historical Speaks the Nightbird books. I just today started his first contemporary novel in 20 years - The Five - and found myself drawn in on the first page. I don't know what it is about this man's writing, but I just can't get enough. But when I talk about him to friends and even some writers, I get a blank look, like they've never even heard of him. Have any of you read his books? What do you all think of Robert McCammon?
