Product Description
Book Description
The first in a brand new list of tie-in novels for the hit BBC series Being Human
Product Description
One of Annie's oldest friends has come looking for her - and what's more amazing is that she's found her. Denise is the ultimate party girl, and she's determined to bring Annie out of her shell. Mitchell is delighted, but George really thinks the last thing they need to do is to go out and meet new people.
Annie and Denise throw themselves into organising a Bingo night at the local sports hall - after all, it's for charity, and what's not to love about having a good time? But why is Denise back in town? Why have Bristol's vampires suddenly started hanging around wherever they go? And why does George get the feeling that Bingo night is going to go horribly, horribly wrong?
Featuring Mitchell, George and Annie, as played by Aidan Turner, Russell Tovey and Lenora Chichlow in the hit series created by Toby Whithouse for BBC Television

Having been trying to finish a book I started for months now I was quite nervous starting this fisrt Being Human book. It's based on the ace TV show and I was also worried that the characters wouldn't be right and that I would lose some continuity from the story being shown on TV. I needn't have worried on either count.
I finished the book in a day, it's an easy read and comes across like your very own episode of the exploits and trials of Mitchell, George and Annie. There are enough facts which tie in with where we are in Season 2 (the writer has worked with the script writers and the cast and so has all the right references; Nina has left George, comments on the real Hustle)but slots the story in as though it could happen between the business with CENSSA that we're now watching. As a result of this someone unfamiliar with the TV show could read the book and enjoy it.
The characters 'sound' right and it's fun to imagine them doing all the things we see them do every week. There's a bit where Mitchell leans against a bookshelf nursing his tea mug and it was just right for how Aidan Turner plays the character.
I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to starting the next one today!

I'm not one for reading fiction based on TV shows, but this book has made me change my mind. I'm an avid follower of Being Human since the pilot so I honestly didnt think that this book would be up to much. I was wrong!
The characterisation is so good that you are actually transported into your own little episode, you can hear the characters, see their mannerisms and get caught up in the story. The book is so good in fact that when I watched the last episode I wondered if this had actually been a script that wasnt used but was turned into a book instead.
If you love Being Human you will love this book, if you dont know the tv series you will want to watch it by the time you've finished it. Someone who has never watched the series should find it easy to understand the characters, but those that know and love the series should get the book.
This has changed my view of tv tie-in fiction...so much so I'm going to buy the other two titles.

This is my least favourite of the three Being Human novels published to date. It starts off well with the unexpected arrival of Annie's intriguing old friend, bubbly holiday rep Denise, however Goss' prose is uninspired and by the time I was half way through it had really started to drag.

Bad Blood but great Being Human novel
Okay, first admission, I'm a big 'Being Human' fan. The second key bit of information you need to know is that this is the third in a series of three 'Being Human' novels, with the... Read more

Great read and true to the series
Great story and told in the same way as the TV series. 3 books available, all by different authors but telling a good tale nonetheless. Read more

This is NOT Book 1
In this first bunch of three BH-novels, "Bad Blood" is Book 3. "The Road" is Book 1, "Chasers" is Book 2. Book 1 is set after Episode 2.2 at least, if not later. Read more
