5.0 out of 5 stars
Mesmerising masterpiece,
By johnny ironjacket (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Damage (Paperback)
My initial experience with Damage was through the Louis Malle film starring Juliette Binoche and Jeremy Irons. It is a haunting piece, beautifully shot and wonderfully acted. Good though the movie is, however, it is as nought compared to the book.Hart's prose is sublime - magisterial, yet at the same time, economical. The pace and plot grip like a morbid fever. And the first chapter is up there with that of Ian McEwan's Enduring Love as a contender for best-ever opener. In short, read Damage and it's goosebumps all the way down.

If you "enjoyed" Lolita/Catcher in the Rye, you'll like this,
By Faye (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Damage (Paperback)
I agree with the other reviewers that this book will remain with you for a long time. The film is good but the book is so dark and grips you. Like Lolita/Catcher in the Rye, it is intense and you have a sense of foreboding throughout. I tried a few online book stores to buy this book and Amazon was the only one that had it so I would recommend you get it here.

Petrifying,
By A Customer
This review is from: Damage (Paperback)
This book is genuinely frightening. I was a great admirer of the film, but reading the book I found not only did both carry the same overwhelming atmosphere of doom, but also that the book is ten times more disturbing.Hart's prose is absolutely beautiful. What is so very frightening about Damage is that not only does the tragedy seem to be encroaching from the start, but also it presents to us a situation we ourselves would be utterly powerless to save ourselves from if fate conspired in this way. Fall in love with a damaged survivor and you might as well commit suicide now is the point Hart is making. Its a dangerous book, and quite possibly deceitful, but it can create the same obsession in those spellbound by it that Stephen suffers for Anna. I have never read a more powerful, beautiful and unsettling book. It made my palms sweat and my chest pound.
