mo hayder?

[porcamiseria]

I dont usally read dark stuff but both Pig Island and Tokyo were gripping, and dark, really haunting

the birdman however was shit, but grim

have only read 'Ritual' and this was stomach-turning in places, but very readable

what was so bad about 'Birdman'?

I love Mo Hayder books, have read The Birdman, The Treatment, Tokyo and Pig Island, I'm sure there's two or three more she's written but I've not got to those yet

I read The Treatment when it came out and it was gripping. I read The ritual recently and wasn't that impressed.

birdman was not very well written, poor characterisaton!

I am too scared to read the Treatment, is it that bad?

ciao franca!

Ciao porcamiseria!

No, I wouldn't recommend The Treatment to a parent, no.

Love all her books. But the treatment and birdman are both quite disturbing.
I've just ordered her new one and can't wait.

birdman is vile but so badly written that t did not bother me IYSWIM

VILE!!!!

I liked the Treatment but it was upsetting.....

Interesting stuff but unsettling in places (particularly Ritual and Skin).
I agree with Franca that the Treatment is not a good idea for parents to read...

I have just started reading her books and have only read Birdman so far but I loved it!! Have now bought "Ritual" and also "Gone".
