I received a complimentary copy of this book to review.Snow Day was a fun and scary ride.  The author does a great job of describing the time and place;  though I grew up in the same era, I could literally visualize these kids and their neighborhood. The story meets the author's intention of a campfire-esque tale of terror, and was a very fast read (under two hours).  The book takes a little time for set-up, before running at full speed, all the way to the end.  I gladly concur with previous reviews, posting four stars.My only criticism:  while the author succeeded in writing his childhood lore, I really think the story could have been the basis of a full novel.  The "mystery" of the basement find could have been expanded, and the end reveal (which is a little predictable), could have been more interesting.All-in-all, anyone seeking a quick heart-thumping read shouldn't be disappointed.
