Haunted is a different type of James Herbert book as there is no violence and very little gore. Although I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed some of his other books such as "Rats" or "The Fog" I still thought this book was enjoyable as it built up a lot of mystery and suspense and parts of it had me gripped.Because the book is only 240 pages it is a quite read and so Herbert successfully manages to keep the suspence through the story and althought I thought some of the plot twists were a little predictable, this is still a good book which i enjoyed.I would recomend this book to anyone who is a fan of James Herbert or of haunted house stories.
