3.0 out of 5 stars
It was okay,
By
This review is from: Dispossession (Paperback)
I'll read practicallyy anything that might have something to do with angels in it, so Dispossession immediately caught my attention. Plus, the whole mystery surrounding the main character's loss of memory was enough to add additional interest.
Overal, this book was okay, but I won't want to re-read it. I got through it pretty quickly, but was left feeling pretty dissapointed by the whole thing at the end. I expected the story to be more heavily about the angel, and it wasn't really. Nor would I really call this horror. There was some dark and gruesome parts, some of which gave me the chills, but the majority of the book isn't quite horror. I also had a bit of a hard time adjusting to the author's writing style. Granted, this is my first Chaz Brenchley book I've read, but it still took me at least until page 100 to really get used to his style. I just had a hard time immersing myself into the story.

even better on re-reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dispossession (Paperback)
The dark atmosphere, excellent characterisation and totally natural supernatural of this thriller made me race to the end first time around. The second time it was even better. By not racing I was able to appreciate the detail that gives this book such a strong sense of place and reality. Dwellers of a certain North Eastern town can location spot too if they feel inclined!
5.0 out of 5 stars
very enjoyable; stretches the imagination; realism & what if,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dispossession (Paperback)
I have read a number of Brenchley's books because they combine realism with what if ? scenarios. They stretch the imagination to consider possibilities beyond everyday experience without becoming just fantasy stories. The story of Dispossession is real as are the characters, but the extra-sensory elements make this book different and well worth reading.
