Recommended
I would recommend this book, just got in to James Herbert and the stories are really captivating, once you start you cant put it down. He does go in to detail a lot which i'm not as fussed on but still want to read more. I would recommend it to everyone.

Ploddy Plotting
Until now I had not read James Herbert before. Its unlikely that I will read him again. The characters are unconvincing and the style slow and uninteresting. As to the plot I lost the thread due to lack of interest.

Am I missing something..?
I do not quite understand how this book has been getting such good reviews!? I have enjoyed Herbert's writing in the past but this effort is sub-par at best. There was little empathy with the main character, or the seemingly 'after-thought' secondary characters.

The plot was transparent and the twists were so obvious you would have had a harder time working out the killer from an episode of Columbo! There were only two moments in the book that I actually felt any of the author's previous chilling storytelling abilities; the book does not live up to the title.
