Product Description

He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. But he was something more.

i really believed i was a dog!!!
i read this a year or so ago and still remember it well... this book is one of the most unique and best stories i ever found. The way that the perceptions, thoughts and emotions of fluke the dog are described really give an insight into what it must be like to be a dog(?!). I found myself really involved in the story and couldnt put it down, and im not a big reader. Its just so different and interesting its addictive. I really recommend this to anyone, you will never think of our canine companions in the same way again! :o)

Not your average James Herbert story�
If you are looking for your next James Herbert horror then this is NOT the book for you. If you want traditional Herbert terror then I would thoroughly recommend the Rats trilogy. (The Rats, Lair, and Domain.) They are all individually brilliant books and together create a truly terrifying and climactic epic. The Fog and '48 are also both fantastic Herbert chillers. If however you fancy a break - a little light relief - Fluke might be the book for you. Fluke is a story about a dog, so if you're a dog-lover, don't miss it. Its style reminded me a lot of stories by Walt Disney (101 Dalmatians, The Fox and the Hound, etc.) It's not scary, or gripping, but this heart-warming story is beautifully written, has a good ending and is enjoyable to read.

Fluke. James Herbert
After reading nearly all of Mr Herberts novels i was pleasently suprised by Fluke. Differant from his usual horror stories this is more about a story of life, and an enjoyable one at that. It makes you think and i promise you wont look at animals in the same light again, a cracking read.
