C.A. Powell (Colin Alan Powell)
Born 1961 in Bow district of London. Now lives in Fenland of Cambridgeshire. Loves reading and writing.

When I read and do reviews, I always categorise the type of book in my own mind and think of the particular audience that might enjoy. It does not matter if it is classic, pulp, indie, sci-fi etc. It is all a personal reflection from my own bubble of thought. I always seem to take something from every book I read.

A very enjoyable pulp #scifi read. Probably from a golden age of American science fiction. I would suspect that most readers would know the story because of the 1957 film titled: The Incredible Shrinking Man. In a way, the film gave the novel a longe ...more

The City by James Herbert
Rate this book
Clear rating
Enjoyable but very different from what I was expecting. The fact that it is a graphic novel with a unique art style also threw me out a bit. It was good but very different from the novels IMHO.
