I always had a fear of nuclear war but when I read that we were studying it in Modern studies. Looking at the effects and watched that nuclear film, where the wind blows. For that reason I will never forget it. I might have to go back and read the trilogy again.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-76540040751475902682013-03-22T08:05:35.537-07:002013-03-22T08:05:35.537-07:00Yeah, I maybe wouldn't read Rats if I were you...Yeah, I maybe wouldn't read Rats if I were you. Try one of his others. I remember liking the Mist but there were lots of others. I'll need to look through my book list to see if I can remember any of them.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-27840512310430955852013-03-22T06:30:37.578-07:002013-03-22T06:30:37.578-07:00It's so sad, isn't it - James Herbert'...It's so sad, isn't it - James Herbert's books were a massive part of my teenage life and it's hard to believe he's gone. <br /><br />My favourite of his has to be Domain, the third book in the Rats trilogy. Even without the rats being there it's one of the scariest apocalyptic books ever, with its setting during a nuclear war. When I read it as a teen we were still in the cold war and it all felt horrifyingly plausible.

I really want to read 'The Rats'... but at the moment we're living in a big ol' barn that often HAS rats, scratching away in the ceiling/between the floorboards/in the walls, so maybe I should wait until we move. For, y'know, sanity's sake. I should read another Herbert now though, right?Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
