A review by hounded
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker

3.0

I was honestly expecting more from this book as I've heard nothing but praise for it since I first got into horror. I think it just felt a bit flat and the characters felt very 2 dimensional. I still enjoyed it and I'm glad I read a horror classic as I had known the movie! Definitely worth the read if you like horror and a quick one! However I don't think it is a drop everything to read kind of book. The action was good and fun and there are some lines that I will think about forever! Of course as well I love the cenobites they definetly hold a more omnipotent feeling in the book rather then the movie did which is much more to my liking.
