Rating:  - An exciting read!!!
Have you ever read a book that was written so well, so detailed, that it played out in your mind like a movie? I mean you could just picture everthing and everyone like you were there. That is this book. Only because I have 2 kids and had to eat and sleep did I put this book down! I am an avid reader, and very few authors capture me, John Saul being at the top of my list, but this book definately rated a recomended reading from me! I look forward to reading more works by Mr.Moore.
Rating:  - Very good begining
One of these days James A. Moore is going to be a big name in horror. Under the Overtree is a pretty good way to get a career started.

My only gripe is the ending which seemed tacked on, predictable and rushed. The book would've been better served without the last few pages.
Was this book worth the money? Yes. Should you rush ... Read More

Moore foreshadows the psychological as well as physical changed being worked on Mark quite well. His supporting cast of characters ... Read More
Rating: - great book....
i thoroughly enjoyed this book, and, even though it is not my style to read horror books, i will read the rest of Mr. Moore's books, starting with Possessions and working my way backwards. i have heard that fireworks is an amazing book, and I know that Serenity Falls has been nominated for the Bram Stoker Award!!!!!!
This seems to be an author to keep one's eyes on!

Rating: - PROMISING FUTURE
The actual rating I give this book is 3 and 1/2 stars. This is my first experience with James Moore and after reading, "Under the Overtree", it won't be my last. Although the book is a little long, Moore somehow keeps things quite engaging with his detail of characters and his skill of quickly moving scenes. I found a lot of spelling errors throughout this book -- which unfortunately seems fairly common in Leisure's titles these days. Moore's writing is mostly smooth, but I found a few times ...
