-"Ideal Home"

Product Description

4.0 out of 5 stars A welcome second outing for Harry, 20 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Goddard's reluctant and unlikely hero Harry Barnet returns for another set of adventures in this intriguing sequel to "Out Of The Blue" I don't know what prompted the author to make this the only occasion to date that he has brought a character back, but having just read the first book I was more than happy for another helping. This time Harry discovers a long lost son just as he has fallen into a diabetic coma. As always nothing is what it seems and natural causes don't come into it. Harry seems to adopt the heroic mantle much more readily second time around and he embarks on a continent-hopping and dangerous series of escapades. Perhaps lacking the dark and mysterious fluency of "Into The Blue", the book nevertheless keeps up Goddard's edge-of-the-seat tradition. A definate winner, with the odd cursory nod to the original, and a similarly suprising but optimistic ending. Best read in correct sequence, the two books make the perfect omnibus!

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't stand up to 'Into the Blue', 23 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Harry Barnet, the anti-hero from 'Into the Blue, returns in this book which differs a bit from the other books I've read by Robert Goddard. Compared to 'Into the Blue' I found it a bit wanting. The reason for this is that the plot hinges on some "scientific" concepts that are just not believable. I was also a bit surprised by this scientific twist by Goddard since I've come to associate him (from those books I've read, don't know about the rest) with mysteries buried in the past. So, it was neither as good as I would expect nor what I would expect.

So why do I give it four stars? The reason for this is that Goddard is a very good story-teller and even if some aspects of the story are rather daft he still does a good job telling it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Below par Goddard, 29 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Into the blue was terrific. Full of twists and turns and delivered at a pace to keep you truly hooked. This is predictable and really too far fetched for credibility. The story just doesn't hang together and the whole thing becomes a bit illogical and silly. It's a long way from his best work (Past Caring, In pale battalions, Painting the darkness) though he is - or was - a great storyteller.
