"What can I say folks, Keene has done it again, and I'm beginning to believe that their is no story big or small that he can't write. "Terminal" is probably one of the best, well developed book's I've ever read. As I'm writing this review right now, I myself am sick as a dog, running a temperature of around 101 degrees,  No I'm not "Terminal" but I feel like I am. So bear with me.....

      "Terminal" is about a guy named Tommy who works at the local foundry, right from the get go we find out that he has cancer, and it is in fact; 'Terminal".  The doctor pretty much tells him he's got a month or so to live. Tommy, whom is married with a little boy, up to his neck in dept. and living in a trailer can't believe that his life is about to end soon.  Hiding the truth from his wife, and just about everyone around him except two of his friends. Well with not long to live and wanting to leave his family well off, Tommy along with his friends decide to rob a bank.  When they do so things go major wrong, however the hope of survival lies within a small boy.

     Well in a nutshell, I'll just say it plan and simple, GO BUY THIS BOOK!!!  I think horror fans and non-horror fans will really fall in love with this story.  It's a real tear jerker at times and it's also one hell of a thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end. Speaking of the end; It is in fact the best part of the whole book, It's a huge surprise ending that will leave you with tons of emotion running though your body. The character development in this book is so unbelievable that you'll feel like your living as the characters.

    Overall this is one book I don't want to spoil for anyone, you know what's it's about from my short synopsis above, but it by far Keene's best novel.  "Terminal" is Brian Keene's "Green Mile".  Except not only will you feel for the character's in this book, you actually believe your right there with them.  An overall unbelievable book.
