Product Description

Product Description

He was a stringy mongrel wandering the streets, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness, the dog they called Fluke knew that he was once a man.

5.0 out of 5 stars i really believed i was a dog!!!, 4 May 2002
This review is from: Fluke (Paperback)
i read this a year or so ago and still remember it well... this book is one of the most unique and best stories i ever found. The way that the perceptions, thoughts and emotions of fluke the dog are described really give an insight into what it must be like to be a dog(?!). I found myself really involved in the story and couldnt put it down, and im not a big reader. Its just so different and interesting its addictive. I really recommend this to anyone, you will never think of our canine companions in the same way again! :o)

3.0 out of 5 stars Not your average James Herbert story, 2 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Fluke (Paperback)
If you are looking for your next James Herbert horror then this is NOT the book for you. If you want traditional Herbert terror then I would thoroughly recommend the Rats trilogy. (The Rats, Lair, and Domain.) They are all individually brilliant books and together create a truly terrifying and climactic epic. The Fog and '48 are also both fantastic Herbert chillers. If however you fancy a break - a little light relief - Fluke might be the book for you. Fluke is a story about a dog, so if you're a dog-lover, don't miss it. Its style reminded me a lot of stories by Walt Disney (101 Dalmatians, The Fox and the Hound, etc.) It's not scary, or gripping, but this heart-warming story is beautifully written, has a good ending and is enjoyable to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fluke. James Herbert, 26 Oct 2005
By Mr David Sharp (pontyclun, mid glam United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fluke (Paperback)
After reading nearly all of Mr Herberts novels i was pleasently suprised by Fluke. Differant from his usual horror stories this is more about a story of life, and an enjoyable one at that. It makes you think and i promise you wont look at animals in the same light again, a cracking read.

As some other reviewers say, 'not your usual James Herbert horror'. If it is horror you want then this isn't the book for you. Read more

With his fourth book James Herbert does the unexpected, and produces a novel set entirely outside of the horror genre. Read more
