Brace yourself for sleepless nights
It is skilfully written and entirely gripping - I think it is likely to be a best seller, and I would recommend you give it a go...
The inclusion of events and voices from around the world add to the growing suspense and excitement and, if you aren't scared of spiders, the idea of a carnivorous swarm of eight-legged homicidal maniacs, is enough to keep you turning the pages.
A high-octane thriller it is great fun and a real page-turner.
A sprawling and shamelessly compulsive adventure, this is a pleasingly fast-paced read that manages to combine smoothly crafted prose and sharp details with a selection of entertainingly gruesome shocks.
