3.0 out of 5 stars
Okay - ish,
This review is from: Devil in the Fog (Pleasure in Reading) (Hardcover)
I had high hopes for this book because I remember reading "Smith" in my early years and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was not expecting to be enthralled in the same way that I was by Garfield's other effort, but I did expect to read a story that evoked the Victorian period with a plot strong enough to cross the child - adult divide. Unfortunately, "Devil - in - the - Fog" does not quite reach the necessary heights. The story centres around the hero George who, as a 13 - year - old, finds himself swapping families. As the story progresses, sinister characters and strange behaviour begin to seep out of cracks and crawl from under stones leading to the big twist at the conclusion. For most, this novel will be different and rather exciting. For me, the excellent turn of phrase, imagery and humour employed by the author are in unfortunate contrast with the slightly convenient, occasionally confusing and ultimately disappointing plot. I do recommend this book, but I do warn the reader that it may come across a little thin in parts.
