This tale of horror comes from the author of "The Rats" and "The Sepulchre", among many others. In a peaceful village in Wiltshire, life is predictable until there is a minor...

The Fog - Not clear where I am with this one.
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by etala

Advantages: Exciting ending.
Disadvantages: Grusome but not scary.

...definitely a "miss". John Holman is the environmental agency officer who is performing fieldwork in Wiltshire in an investigation against possible infringements by the Ministry of Defence. Driving into a country village a scene of tragedy unfolds before his eyes and the road splits asunder before him swallowing up a row of shops and several people. Holman leaps into the crevice to save a young girl who he heroically drags to safety. As soon as ... Read review

A far cry from the film.
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by amber24

Advantages: An extremely well written and action packed novel.
Disadvantages: Not for those with a faint heart.

...was. I was captivated from the word go. I came across the book whilst trying to make some room in my spare room. It was in one of my boyfriends boxes that he'd had since he lived with his mum. I asked him if he'd ever read it, as I was shocked to find a book in his possesion; he isn't much of a reader. He said no but he'd seen the film. I too had seen the film as a young teenager. I thought it was great then, but at that age anything with blood ... Read review

The fog by James Herbert... Can't get much better than James.H
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by Little-Princess

Advantages: Great for lovers of gore, Amazing story line and really easy to get into
Disadvantages: I guess the gore if you aren't it to that type of thing!

...am a huge fan of the author James Herbert and was bought a load of his books for my birthday. I decided to read this one first and I am so glad I did. I found the book really gripping and was able to finish the book in a matter of days. Althought this isn't one of my favourite James Herbert books I did find it very readable and couldn't really put it down. Unfortunately with books I always try and guess the ending but I was unable to guess the correct ... Read review

The Fog
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by tomseear

Advantages: Amazing perefectly writen book
Disadvantages: none at all

The Fog by James Herbert is one of horrors classics, and for good reason. James Herbert is a writer now up in the leagues with Stephen King; this is probably his most successful piece. Not to be confused with the film"The Fog" which os somewhat different, a big sea fog and ghost pirates. A tiny village in Wiltshire, England is shacked one morning by what is believed my the local people to be an earthquake. A huge crack opens in the earth releasing ... Read review

Horrific and brutal
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by Aldanti

Advantages: fantastic
Disadvantages: none

...charity shop but i think the rrp is £2.50. The basic plot of the story is some fog escapes from inside the earth during an earthquake. The fog drives people to do things they wouldn't normally do such as murder. This fog slowly spreads and engulfs London. It is up to John Holman , the main character of the novel and his collegues to prevent the fog affecting any more people. It is the type of novel where you feel that you really know the characters ... Read review

james herbert scary writing
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by melody99

Advantages: good suspense
Disadvantages: nightmare possibilty

...book as its nothing like the film the book starts in a completely different way to the film and has a very eerie feel to it. I would reccomend watching the film if yo have not seen it and comparing the stories as they are really not the same. A really gripping story line. Of a tiny village being under seige by a devastaing fog. It keeps you wondering right till the end. I find it easy to keep picking up and starting again as i have read it a ... Read review

Review of The Fog - James Herbert by kazzalg

Advantages: great story
Disadvantages: not for the young

the fog was the first james herbert book i had ever read and i am now totally hooked and have read most of this authors books, this one is among my top three, once you start reading the fog it is hard to put the book down as there is so much goes on that you wnat to know what is going to happen next. one thing that might put some people off is the sexual refrences but it is a great story with excellent characters, although you know the book is fiction ...

AMAZING!
Review of The Fog - James Herbert by xxxbabixxx

Advantages: Truly a shocker. Brill story line. Amazing ending!
Disadvantages: none what so ever

...expect. I have never seen the film but i have read some of Herbert other work before so i had some idea. It only took me a few days to read as i was hooked and couldnt put it down. Herbert presented the main character Holman extreamly well as, through out the book i felt connected to him and felt sorry for all this poor man was going through. Most scenes were very grusome and gory but it all added to the effect. Buliding towards a brillent ending. ... Read review
