Fairies are real... Advantages: Great if you are a kid at heart Disadvantages: Don't bother reading it if you lack imagination If you still believe in fairies (myself admitted) then you must read this book! This book has some poor reviews but I really liked it - then again I am a kid at heart! I am a big fan of James Herbert but I generally don't read best-sellers - this time I made an exception - after I read the blurb i just had to have it!!! It mixes horror with fantasy: including witches / goblins / fairies etc... If you are scared of spiders you should be warned ... ...probably give you nightmares for years to come (as it did me). You should also be warned (although you may expect it if you are an avid James Herbert fan) of the sexual content... it was very strange!!! The only thing that made this book hard to read was that I had to keep throwing it to the floor when it got too scary! ... amylovelace 19.10.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Once - James Herbert	Would you read it again?

James Herbert - The Others Advantages: Nothing like the Film made with Nicole Kidman - completely different story Disadvantages: slighlty long and slightly boring in stages! ...nothing like the film The Others that came out recently - which is good.!! Nicholas Dismas is a private detective and is set to investigate the strangest story of all! The investigation takes him to mysterious places that you'll never forget! The descriptions the Dismas gives of the secrets he uncovers is shocking and highly memorable for there fear invoking feeling. Not the best James Herbert book I have read (I ahve read them all) but a good ...

Stephen, King of Writing Advantages: Very informative and inspiring. A good writers block breaker. Disadvantages: His methods aren't suited for everyone. ...memoir and a how-to book on writing, written by a man who damned well knows how it's done. The thing that strikes you most about King is his sense of humour. He tells us about his childhood, how his mother encouraged him to read everything, including trash books, and entertains with anecdotes about babysitters who sat on his face shouting pow! It also tells you how he came to write his first book, how he got it published, and inspiringly, how many ... ...that even Stephen King struggling initially. He also tells you how he writes, and I know from experience his way isn't great for everyone, me for one, but it's fascinating knowing how the pros do it and King's not preachy about it. Overall a brilliant book, the most entertaining how to I've ever read. ... surveysista1988 10.06.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of On Writing - Stephen King	Would you read it again?

Not His Best Advantages: Scary, and quite original Disadvantages: Wanders off topic sometimes Out Are The Lights is interesting because it contains one novella and five other short stories. The big story though, is obviously the most important thing about this book. Although I found it quite an enjoyable read, I thought the storyline was a little cheesy. The plot is that there is a couple of mad people out there who put people into various horrific situations, film them and sell it to a film. company. It all sounds a little "Goosebumps" or ... ...All in all Out Are The Lights isn't bad. As a Richard Laymon fan I was quite dissapointed, but it's not exactly the worst book I've read. There are parts of the story I will always remember, but I wouldn't pick it up and read it again, unless it was for one of the short stories. ...

A Corps of Corpses Advantages: Further humerous adventures of Garrett Book 4 Disadvantages: Definately getting hold of your copy ...in distress. It is Garrett's old sergeant, Blake Peters. Black Pete as he was called behind his back retired from the corps and went with General Stantnor to the Generals estate. The General had intended to go into the commodity business. Where he actually went was to his bed a very sick man. He appears to be suffering a lingering and painful illness that Black Pete believes may be poison. Other members of the General's staff are all old marines ... ...the darkest to date. Haunting, Old evil and special sight all play their part before Garrett can call this one a day. And even Garrett looses something important. Once again we have a good story of the fantasy world of TunFaire. Only this time we are not totally in the city. Much of the action takes place on the estate of General Stantnor. Again the background to the story can be as interesting as the story. It helps to set the scene. In a story ...
