 Brilliant horror story July 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you like to read series of books the Herbert is the master, the first book rats is an excellent soft horror book, only matched in brilliance by the sequel. the Lair, and the final book, Domain. It was only when the bones of the first devoured victims were discovered that the true nature and power of these swarming black creatures with their razor-sharp teeth and the taste for human blood began to be realised by a panic-stricken city. For millions of years, man and rats had been natural enemies. But now for the first time - suddenly, shockingly, horribly - the balance of power had shifted..."The effectiveness of the gruesome set pieces and brilliant finale are all its own
 Mutant rats swarming through London July 29, 2004
21 out of 22 found this review helpful
I'm guessing this is one of those tales that sprang up in the 'Jaws' period of unlikely, unnatural, monster animals. You really do have to suspend disbelief and suppress any urge to laugh at the silliness of it all, if you want to enjoy this story. So that's what I did. It's a daft story about huge, mutant black rats that are terrorising London and attacking crowds of people, in cinemas, on trains, in schools and so on - in exactly the way that real rats wouldn't, in fact. Forget the fact that black rats are extremely rare in Britain now, that rats make nice-natured, affectionate and intelligent pets and that they giggle like children if you tickle them (though you'd need bat detecting equipment to be able to hear them). Herbert's rats are whacking great mutants with no sense of humour what so ever. They're hungry and their favourite dish is human, served raw and preferable still wriggling and screaming.The story is read by Steven Pacey and he is just superb. I can't remember listening to a better story teller. He made the whole thing seem almost believable. His voice changed for each character and I could visualise the people and events because he read it so convincingly. If I'd read the book myself, I'd have to give it only 3 stars but the excellent story teller has to increase its rating to 4 stars.
