review 1: I rated this book a 4star as I 'enjoyed' the read as I couldn't put it down. The style of writing does just make you want to keep going which i love in a book. That said I felt that the gruesome details were somewhat unnecessary in order to create the tension and that this was the authors way of horrifying the reader. It becomes apparent about half way through how the past has indeed caught up with him, however the culmination of events does become rather unbelievable. If you are not too faint hearted then it is a good read.
review 2: I like John Niven's change of direction to gory horror - which I imagine came fairly easily to him since touches of brutal violence appear in his other books. But it's good to see an author changing direction and not letting t... morehemselves be defined by previous works. I personally get bored with authors when they keep dishing the out the same old characters again and again - but that's personal preference, of course. My only quibble with the book was that the female lead (I don't want to give too much away) was a tad unbelievable. less
