This review is from: The Devil on the Road (Library Binding)

This book, Devil on the Road, is about a young man who owns only a motorbike, he ends up staying in a very odd town where some very odd things are happening. He ends up physically flashing back in time. This book will keep you as it did me, glued to your seat unable to put down the book. Its incredibly good as are all of Robert Westalls books and a recommend this as one of his best. At least give it a try and find out for yourself!
