I enjoy James Herbert's style of writing. Some English authors are just a little too proper for me but Herbert keeps his books interesting.Great concept here - having your body killed while you're out gallivanting around on another astral plane. There were a few slow, repetitive spots in the book but for the most part I liked it. Great character development. Truly creepy serial killer (I don't want him wearing MY body). Enough plot twists to keep me guessing. Some tender moments with daughter, Primrose (WHO thought of that name - poor girl).
