Roger's Review

One of the best James Herbert books ever. A gripping story and a great central character. The whole book contains elements that make you think and consider. Frightening and repulsive in equal doses, this is James Herbert writing at his best. If I fault the book in any way it is in the fact that the ending has similarities with that of 'Creed' (although I actually read this before I read Creed).

9 out of 10.
