Rating:  Summary: Spectacular! Review: This book is as beautiful, moving, riveting, and profound as its film version, and explains further the concept of reincarnation. A man returns to life on Earth as a dog...trying desperately to adjust to his new life, he is constantly beset by confusing flashbacks to his former life as a man. Why is he one of the few who remember? And should he go back home to find his human family? These questions and more are answered in "Fluke."I've read this book many times and still find it fascinating; it's written simply but beautifully, in language anyone can appreciate fully. The author obviously has a vivid mind and understands how the world looks through a dog's eyes; or perhaps he has been a dog in past lives. I know that I have. I highly recommend this lovely, exciting adventure.
Rating:  Summary: Stunning ! Review: This book is so different than any other book i have ever read. The way that James Herbert manages to almost jump into the head of a canine and convey the emotions and senses that are happening is extrodiary. You feel as though you are the subject, experiencing every moment and sensation that occurs... i give this book 10/10 and reccomend it highly to anyone.
Rating:  Summary: a different kind of love story Review: This book tells the story of a dog named Fluke who remembers being more than a dog. It makes you look at your family pet in a very different way. When your pet looks at you, what exactly does he/she see, think, remember? It is sad, exciting,wonderful. A modern fairy tale. I loved this story and so did my 10 year old daughter.
Rating:  Summary: An unusual and satisfying book, maybe Herbert's best. Review: This is a surprise. With Herbert, you usually got a gore-fest, and when I started reading this book about a man who finds himself in a dog's body, I imagined there would be lurid descriptions of dogs ripping apart other living things, probably humans. Far from it. This book is as cleverly written and as skilfully told as anything by Richard Matheson or Jonathan Aycliffe, and I do not make such comparisons lightly. 'Fluke' describes the dog's (told in the first person-or should that be in the first dog?) quest to discover his previous humanness. It is a journey both of discovery and self-awareness. Herbert vividly describes what it (probably) feels like to be a dog, capturing the world of smells and canine desires; and the lingering sense of his previous humanity that propels him to discover who he was before he became a dog. The ending is moving without being sentimental. An unusual and satisfying book and one that I can fully recommend.
Rating:  Summary: Heather Madsen Review: This is one of the Best books I've read in years. It is very Heart warming. James Herbert knows how to make a great boo
