Product Description

Review
'This offering from Hutson is a hybrid in both name and nature, and is well worth reading for the cleverness of the plotting and the sheer page-turning compulsion of the climactic section' - GOOD BOOK GUIDE ** 'Hutson cleverly intermingles Ward's unravelling life with the violent corpse-strewn life of the book within its pages. The ending should be predictable, yet somehow it isn't. Exciting stuff from the 'Godfather of Gore' - SFX Magazine

What's On In London
'A fast-moving kidnap thriller' --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dismal, 19 Jan 2004
By J. Watson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a novel entirely devoid of sympathetic characters. It has as the basis of its minimal plot a little girl with an invented and medically implausible (to say the least!) disease, for which Hutson provides only the sketchiest mumbo-jumbo of a justification. Gratuitous sex scenes are there for titillation and add nothing to the story. The "poetic justice" ending is obvious from halfway through the novel, and the unlovely characters lumber towards the final scene without the reader's empathy or even interest. Hutson has done better than this; don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shaun has faultered on this last effort, 3 Nov 2003
By Ms. S. Lee "Enigma" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I own every book written by Shaun.
Usually the book is never put down and is always an exciting read right to the very end with sweaty palms etc.
For some reason I feel Shaun lost his way a little....the ending is very poor to say the least. I wont tell you the ending for those of you still reading it...all I can say is not up to the usual brilliant exciting read.
What a disappointment, lets hope the next one is better and this is just a lapse

2.0 out of 5 stars Not up to the usual high standard, 18 Aug 2003
I am a great fan of SH but I was disapointed by this novel,
usually I cant put his books down but this time all I wanted to do was put it down.
So similar to some of his other work easy to work out and what was going to happen next .
shame
