5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy horror thriller, Jun 24 2002

By	Jim Lay (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Survivor (Paperback)

I was 9 years old when this paperback first came out in 1976 and I'll never forget the cover. It was all black with a severed doll's head on it staring out with luminescent evil eyes. I was already a horror fan at that age, but I still hadn't put all my childhood fears away, and I remember putting the book face down several times because the eyes on the cover gave me the heebie jeebies. When I finally got around to reading it, it wasn't quite as scary as the cover, but it was a fun read from Britain's master James Herbert and genuinely creepy... A man finds himself the sole survivor of an airplane crash that kills hundreds. He is left with a confusion of memories and a survivor's guilt that pushes him to investigate the crash. What he finds is something reaching out from the grave and a shocking revelation... I've been a Herbert fan every since I read his amazing (and incredibly violent) THE DARK. This isn't up to the same calibur as that book but it's a quick, fun read and has a very creepy feel to it. Recommended for horror fans. (And if you can get a copy of the first paperback edition, you'll see what I mean about the cover!)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not One of Herbert's Better Efforts, May 27 2002

By	Mr. Imtiaz Kotwal (Barbar, Barbar Bahrain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Survivor (Paperback)

The first half of the book is very interesting but the ending is a big big disappointment. It seems that the ending did not match the build up of the first two thirds of the book. One expected a thrilling finale but to the extreme disappointment of this reader got a ... B-movie type finish. Herbert's Rats trilogy is easily a much more interesting read and to my opinion the best books he's written to date.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of Herbert's best
Having read most of Herbert's works, I found Survivor lacking some of the elements that have attracted me towards his writing over the years. Read more
