 Spine Tingling June 22, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a book guaranteed to send a shiver down your spine. This book takes a little bit of time and patience to get into but once the action begins I couldn't put it down. This book contains a lot of bad language and some sex scenes that are quite frankly... disgusting, but this adds to the tension as sex and food are joined together in a strange mix.
The story is based around a diet clinic who offer no quibble easy weight loss, with one pill to start losing weight and one pill to stop it. But, as you would expect in any Torchwood storyline, there are added complications the subject will become hungrier and hungrier. As their appetite grows, so does the food they eat, from pizzas to pigeons, to their friends, to themselves, the victims slowly decay and become more ravenous. The Torchwood team race to discover what this could be to do with a mood transmitting device and save the lives of the ravenous victims. Unfortunately one of these victims is Reece.
Have I told you about Doctor Scotus? June 11, 2008
Torchwood is one of the best TV series created, and has a nice range of books based on the series to read. If you are looking for one, pick Slow Decay.
Slow Decay is a great book about a clinic with a man called Doctor Scotus, who promises that you will lose height, if you take his pills. I won't go any pass that, just so I don't spoill it.
It also features an alien device that Tosh works on thoughtout the book.
The book may have the worst blurb on the back than all the other books, but it is still one of the best.
Its Dark, Sexy, and awesome!
A must buy for any fan.
 Feed My Frankenstein May 21, 2008
There is a new pill on the market in Cardiff that is guaranteed to make you lose weight. Take the start pill and once you have lost the desired weight just take the stop pill - easy. That is unless you wait too long and the hunger takes control of you. Captain Jack and co. are on the case when they stumble across the body of a creature seemingly attacked by a ravenous human. Can they stop the hunger from spreading?
Being a fan of the Doctor Who novels I felt giving Torchwood a chance would be a good idea. Having never seen the show I came to the book with fresh eyes. On a positive note the book is a solid piece of B movie like science fiction filling itself with plenty of thrilling moments and a few naughty ones. However, the book used a very tired plot that was similar to many other science fiction stories over the years. Coupled to this was the fact that I did not particularly like any of the characters as their flaws made them unappealing. Despite this it was still a fun read that rattled along to a good conclusion.

The woman that feeds on the humans and weevils is a bump in the night fright
So true February 23, 2008
This book is so true to the characters the weird, but funny things they come out with at the wrong moments. The story is so clear its more like your watching or even being there than reading it and i couldn't stop reading it, i was sitting there reading it a midnight because i was engrossed. i haven't read a book for quite a while and this kept me hooked. it was exciting, though it was a bit annoying that it had several pages on one character then it change to another character e.g. Owen then to Gwen, but that just gripped you more. it was very graphic, especially the gory bits and kind a creepy. i kept thinking it had happened to me and i was going to meet one of the cannibals in my closet!
