4.0 out of 5 stars Pharmacutical corporation in dirty dealings shock, June 1, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Alchemist (Hardcover)

This book is initially quite a complex and interwoven story dealing with a series of characters and situations connected with genetics and pharmacuticals. Each of these develops into an absorbing amalgamation of the central theme and until the middle of the book this works and I certainly couldn't put it down. A smattering of the occult graces the pages from beginning to end and this may be enough to get you through but by the end a familiar and somewhat cliched parody of many books of the same ilk becomes evident. Enkoyable enough but prepare for disappointment and a little frustration

This review is from: Alchemist (Paperback)

This is what supernatual thrillers should be like! Set in a scenario that is all too real these days, this book has all that you need and more besides. If you on here reading this, chances are you already know who Peter James is, and his genre, and are just looking for recommendations. In which case, i say with feeling, grab a read of this.
