Best book so far..

[stest]

Has to be Nobody True. I've now read 11 JH books (just finished Once,bit much for me) got lost a little on the way too i hate to admit! Secret of crickley hall was an excellent read,no detail was left unearthed bit too much in places,but as far as reality in books go,you need go no further than JH. Nobody True had me by the balls beginning to end and full credit to James for even thinking of the idea of dying whilst out of body ! the opening line..i wasn't there when i died has to be the best opening line of any book that i have ever read. As i say,i've now read 11 books,and needless to say,look forward to the next 11 to go with my collection.

Once followed by Haunted and the Magic Cottage


I love his dark fantasy/ghost stuff

magic cottage====ive read it 5 or 6 times and never tire of it

[thomkindred]

Such a brilliant story!

[scarecrow]

yep its awesome--dark and magical

"The Dark" is his best horror book in my view, although I think "Creed" is his best written book.

[scarecrow]

wasnt keen on the dark---dragged a bit in my opinion--

[jennyb]

Survivor is my fave, follwed by Creed,Once and Magic Cottage.

[Rupert]

The Dark is very highly regarded here - on the poll we did a few years ago it came second to The Magic Cottage.

[thomkindred]

I like The Dark, definatly one of his best books. Great opening!

im not doubting that --all i said is in my opinion it drags a bit---it has some very scary moments and a very good core story but its not one of my favourite books by jh

besides from the time spent on this forum i understand not many people have read all of jhs books ---a true poll could only include people who have read them all

You could only vote if you'd read both the books, so there was no bias from people who hadn't read it or had read it and not read something else. But to be fair it's bad form to come on a 'best book' topic and slate someone elses choice - that should be left to the discussion topics.
