This review is from: The Secret of Anatomy (Mass Market Paperback)
I have to say that as far as horror novels go, this is really good. For all it's length there were nights I just didn't want to put it down.
I feel there is actually quite a lot of the author in this book. From Bernard's reading taste (Dr Who) to experiences and news events Mark draws from his own upbringing. Any reader from his peer group who grew up in Britain couldn't fail to have many of the same memories; From the IRA bombings and the Valley Parade fire in Bradford to Desperate Dan and milk adverts. Maybe a few too many for the American market though. If I have any criticism it would be that maybe the end was a little too neatly and simply tied up and that sometimes there was an over use of similes...yet, undeniably the descriptions did make the situations that the characters were in seem more normal even though bizarre and terrifying things might be occurring which in itself makes for realistic horror. If you've enjoyed novels by James Herbert then I'm pretty certain you'll enjoy this.
