runner Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 What if Sunday was actually Monday?....what if your neighbours were really aliens?...what if your wife and family and everything you believed in was not what it seemed.....welcome to the world of Linwood Barclay. I enjoy Linwood Barclay but as someone famous once said I love babies but I couldn't eat a whole one (no offence meant!) His novels grab you from the opening sentence and lead you on a merry dance right to the final page. They are fun, they are great reads they are totally nonsense but above all they are great entertainment...and surely that is what good writing is all about? David Harwood enters an amusement park with his wife and child...his wife disappears and thereafter David's world is never the same again. You will be hooked and you will race along with David in a story that becomes increasingly bizarre as it heads like a steamroller to the somewhat predictable but enjoyable finish....I do recommend but as it says on the medicine jar...do not exceed the stated dose......

dawnbirduk Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I enjoy Linwood Barclay, however, I think the worse phrase in the English language is What If!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I bought this the other day and will hopefully get round to reading it as soon as my mojo decides to come home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's one of the books I've recently bought. I've read 2 and while I enjoy them they are as Runner says "Totally Nonsense", much like Simon Kernick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarylizzi Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I really enjoy his books and have also likened them to Simon Kernick, another fav of mine. I like that style of books though everything happens in 24 hours, lets my imagination run riot! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
