John Boy Saint Posted 20 March, 2013 Share Posted 20 March, 2013 Looking at the BBC News website and saw that James Herbert died at his house in Sussex. I never really enjoyed reading books that much, wasn't that I couldn't read just couldn't be bothered. Then whilst recovering from an operation my Uncle gave me The Survivor which at 19 became the first "grown up book" I had actually read cover to cover and enjoyed. I suppose (saucy stuff aside) the fact that all of his books were based in real places in the UK you could picture the scenes as you read. I read everything he wrote, apart from Ash which is sat on the side waiting to be, so for me James Herbert encouraged me to enjoy reading books. Thank you God bless and Rest in Peace.

pap Posted 20 March, 2013 Share Posted 20 March, 2013 I read a lot of his stuff when I was a nipper. The Rats books were ace. Didn't like the bit when they ate the baby though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
