Someone Like Me by Tom Holt












'Nobody knows where they came from.

Nobody knows what they want.


The creatures are killing humans for meat and nobody, it seems can stop them.'




It's Earth but not as we know it. Everything has stopped. Everything that we once took for granted has disappeared. Apart from the monsters. The monsters have arrived.




In many ways this is right up my street. Set in a dystopian world, it is creepy and dark and has periods of excitement. However the book as a whole suffers a little bit from what I call the Tom Gordon effect. Most of the book is centred around the main character's journey through a dark tunnel, which is great for a single chapter but for an entire novel it did tend to drag on a little bit.


It's Ok though and the writing isn't bad.


Decent.



3/5
