Once

Book Review by: AndrewFreyne    

Original Author: James Herbert
If you the reader love to read about mystery and adventure then this is the book for you.  The story itself revolves around
the main character Thom Kindred.  Who is Thom Kindred?  He is a man who goes on a journey of self-discovery and is forced to confront his demons.  You remember the stories you were told as a child, tales of small elves and fairys, goblins and wicked witches?  On suddenly becoming an adult how would you feel if you found out that these fairytails were based on fact?
Fortunately for Thom Kindred this wonderful, hidden world is revealed to him, first there is fear, and then there is shock and finally sudden realisation that the stories you were told as a child are true.
Thom Kindred is involved in a car accident due to a stroke and returns to his childhood home where he thinks he is going to spend time recuperating, not so!
This is a book that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat!  If you are looking for a means of escape and you want to enter a world where fantasy and reality are closely linked then you will really enjoy this book.  Once is full of passion and excitement, a real page turner, this will keep you entertained for hours on end.
