deus_ex_machina_ 's review for:

Shrine by James Herbert
5.0

As always, great concept.

The story behind this book is quite intriguing and, at times, incredibly suspenseful.

Such a shame that Mr. Herbert always had trouble composing his characters and setting a truly masterful ending.

James Herbert was always a fan of placing ordinary people under extraordinary circumstances. But I feel he was never really able top create such setting in a reliable/credible way.

Still, "Shrine" is one of my favourites from him.
