The Night of Long Knives Book Review


The Night of Long Knives








I thought I would give this book a try.  Honestly I’m not a lover of disaster stories.  In fact I would go as far as to say I normally avoid books and films in this genre.  But for some reason I could not take my eyes off this book.  It made a spark with me and I just had to read it.



To start with, hand on heart, I really didn’t give it what it deserved, I did a quick flick through and it had long chapters, so this book automatically deflated me. But, and I shall add another BUT!



How wrong was I?



This book is more than a disaster book.



Yes its apocalypso and yes it’s not really my thing, but I really enjoyed it.  The characters evolved, and as they evolved I fell in love with them, I was cheering them on wanting then to make it.  I loved how they moulded together, they was they gelled.  The story was more than I expected, It had so many twists but in a good way.  Every time I was getting complaisant, it was flipped keeping the story fresh and me engrossed.



It had feels of sci-fi and Lust and terror, but it didn’t take long for me to be there with them.



I really enjoyed it and I would read this book again.



                4 out of 5 stars.
