## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of the most influential horror/ dark fiction works of the modern era.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2022*

People who are serious about their horror fiction, dark supernatural fiction, weird mystery fiction, why, if they haven't read this, they should. It is a masterpiece. It's told in different "voices" in different parts. You have to get used to some of them...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Dvid Bowie loved this book....
  

*by V***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2018*

I bought this book because I read somewhere that it was on David Bowie's favorite books list. Intrigued by what literature might have influenced one of the most creative minds of my generation, I have to say I wasn't disappointed. I'm an avid fan of serial killer literature and movies and this book is right up there. A criticism I've read about it a few times is that it's slow. I guess that might be the case if you're looking to rush through a tale....the whole point of this book, I find, is the incredible tapestry it weaves, textures, smells it evokes...it's a literary feast of the senses. It's one of those rare books that seems to become a part of your life experience. Highly recommend, especially to people who are interested in history.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not on my list
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2007*

I have read more than half of the books on David Pringle's list of the best 100 fantasy books (after working through most of his SciFi list).  His suggestions include classics and hidden gems and, unfortunately, a few clunkers.  Hawksmoor is one of the latter.Slow but evocative, the book moves back and forth from a time when cathedrals are being built by an architect possessed by an evil force to more contemporary times, where we see the shadow of that force's effect.It is a good concept and well written but very slow going.  It can be difficult to build a reader relationship with characters when the scene keeps shifting and Ackroyd fails to surmount that challenge here.This is not a terrible book but it is ponderous without being either enlightening or entertaining.  There are better books of fantasy and historical fiction to read.  If you are not possessed of unlimited reading time, I might give this one a miss.
