Customer Quotes

  • "From the first page the novel was full of action, the plot was quick which I feel is very important when reading a Crime Novel."
  • "There is no reason why it shouldn't work, other than the failings of the author."
  • "whilst this book is not particularly badly written I found the description of "madness," schizophrenia in particular to be childish and misinformed."
  • "The aggressive pace of this novel demands that you pay attention to the wonderfully created characters while riding the roller coaster of despair that they inhabit."
  • "there really is no comparison."
  • "Guthrie does not write well enough for us to be bothered."
  • "All in all, I totally fail to see how this stood out for the Theakston's judges."
  • "This book has no soul, and no heart."
  • "Although it might well appeal to some readers, it's a long way from Rebus."
  • "The characters here are all cardboard cut-outs - look behind them, and there is no third dimension."
  • "When you dissect it, the plot is feeble, relying on ludicrous coincidences and that old standby, the killer who can't be bothered to kill someone just yet, thereby allowing a laughable escape."
  • "I bought this book after looking at various blurbs and was particularly interested in reviews that compared it to White Jazz."
  • "The key character's "schizophrenia" is, as another reviewer pointed out, a lazy and poorly-researched split personality."
  • "Whatever - their decision means mugs like me waste their hard-earned on a very average product."
  • "This book won the Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year, which explains my error in buying it."
  • "I thought it would provide top-class entertainment, whereas it actually falls short of mediocre."
  • "I am 'new' to Allan's books but I hope to read more of his work in the future, one thing is certain I won't be disappointed."
  • "Not only medically incorrect, it is an example of panic-induced artifice instead of creativity (it reads as if Guthrie couldn't work out another way of moving the plot along); it is the grown-up equivalent of "I woke up and it was all a dream"."
  • "Congratulations Allan you are a worthy winner of this award and I hope you win more."
  • "I would like to see this book adapted for television as I think the viewers (particularly if they like Crime books that have been adapted for TV in the past), then I don't think they are going to be disappointed."
