Posted a comment on 'What You're Reading' section and most people didn't enjoy it. Is it worth giving it a go do you think? http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#20479 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#20479 Wed, Sep 30 2009 17:03:22 GMT I'd never say to anyone 'dont read that', cos everyone's different, you may enjoy it. For me it wasnt a bad book, I just couldnt make my mind up cos I had read so many similar things. I'd say take on board the comments given on the forum and then give the book a go. You will never know unless you read it! http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#20482 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#20482 Wed, Sep 30 2009 19:02:08 GMT Started well but fizzled out as so many of these books do. Have never read The Shining but if the film is anything to go by cannot believe it is anywhere near as good as. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#20576 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#20576 Fri, Oct 02 2009 19:19:30 GMT worst book ever for me. bought this book in may 09, just managed to force myself to finish it last month :s http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#31029 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#31029 Sun, Mar 21 2010 22:30:25 GMT I have it on my Amazon wish list,haven't been really tepted to buy it tho.I might wait till it goes down in price. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#34903 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#34903 Sun, Jul 18 2010 13:49:35 GMT bought my copy from the works for £1.00, they now have his second book the haunting of james hastings would highly recommend seriously spooky http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#37833 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#37833 Thu, Nov 04 2010 07:28:54 GMT ive got it next to my book allong with apartment 16 to read - looking forward to both so no doubt that will mean they will not be scary! lol http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#38244 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#38244 Tue, Nov 16 2010 19:52:10 GMT I read it a few months back, it started off really good, kept me hooked but the ending was a big disappointment for me. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#39491 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#39491 Fri, Dec 10 2010 22:06:51 GMT ive given up on the birthing house due to snakes being mentioned and i have a phobia so didnt risk going any further, as for apartment 16 read 150 pages so far but I am not getting on well with the characters, not sure why so gone back to some crime titles instead for now. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#39650 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#39650 Mon, Dec 13 2010 21:05:07 GMT was really disappointed with this one myself. Would not recommend to anyone. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#42960 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#42960 Sat, Mar 05 2011 10:02:59 GMT amazing book i love this http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#43422 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#43422 Wed, Mar 16 2011 16:07:25 GMT AWFUL!!!! It started well, then just degenerated into a pile of garbage. The author says he doesn't like to reasearch thesubjects in his books and I have to say that shows. Interestingly I read that someone read one of hisother books and they thought it started off well, then went off. To sum up, it went from sinister to silly. theres a photo inside the cover thats actually more creepy than the book it's self http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#49062 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#49062 Sun, Nov 06 2011 22:47:27 GMT Oh dear, these comments are very mixed. It doesn't sound very promising. I think I may have to put this one to the bottom of my to read pile! There's nothing worse than getting to the end of a book and thinking it was a waste of time, especially when there are so many other books I could be reading and enjoying! http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#49285 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#49285 Thu, Nov 17 2011 14:25:18 GMT I read both his The Haunting Of James Hastings and The People Next Door. I much preferred the The People Next Door, THOJH was ok it had some good bits but most of the way through i was confused as to what the hell was going on. I haven't read the birthing house yet but i know a few people who have and they found the ending to be confusing! http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#54697 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#54697 Sun, Jun 10 2012 16:11:05 GMT I have read the Birthing House its really good, i loved the cover too. I love interesting book covers. http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#62641 http://www.greenmetropolis.com/forum/posts.aspx?t=1159#62641 Sat, Apr 13 2013 14:22:42 GMT
