5.0 out of 5 stars Pass the salt please..., March 23, 2006

This review is from: Slugs (Paperback)

Absolutely the best creature feature book I've read.
The thought of long, black blood sucking and flesh chewing slugs. Icky.
I remember the scene where the old fella is sat upon the throne, (toilet in england speak), and one slids right up his bottom!
Egh!
There is also the scene where the lovers are just finishing their afternoon frolics to find the floor is covered with them, as they try and get out they become engulfed.
The film itself wasnt a bad adaptation for its time but the book presented the most vivid imagery.
Fans of 'Rats' by James Herbert will love this one.

This book was very good. Once you have turned the first page you are unable to put it down. I recommend this book to any of his fans(those without a weak stomach). Any other Shaun Hutson fans please send me an e-mail.

This review is from: Slugs (Paperback)

The small town of Merton is overrun with carnivorous slugs in yet another entry in the mutated pest genre created by James Herbert's classic novel The Rats. Shaun Hutson heaps on the grue and keeps the pace lightning fast, so the strong stomached reader can expect to finish the book in less that a day or two. Not high literature, but passable entertainment with quite a nasty edge.
