About this deal

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define.

I hadn't considered reading Fluke before seeing the slightly soppy movie adaptation of it, when I was about 9 or 10, being as the front cover resembled those of the many other James Herbert books my parents owned- all of which, I believed to be quite scary. I bought this copy recently for a work colleague after I was talking about the book and she seemed very interested. We first meet Fluke as a tiny puppy among his little brothers and sisters, on sale at a street market filled with noisy (and smelly) giants (the descriptions of how we humans smell to a dog are graphic! This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees. I applaud James Herbert for this book, This book is one of the reasons why he deserved that OBE he got.Fluke is the moving story of a dog with the memories of a human, with the signature twisting plot Master of Horror James Herbert is famed for. To say I was hooked by the reading the first page is an understatement - I read the first page twice to appreciate the utterly captivating writing style.

Instead, Fluke had caused his own death when he recklessly drove on the wrong side of the road just to argue with Jeff one night and swerved off to avoid hitting an oncoming truck.Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. Fluke is also accepted by Rumbo’s owner, a scrap-metal merchant, who only feeds them occasionally so they have to fend for themselves most of the time. Whilst I wasn’t overly happy with the way it ended – I had wanted a lot more action – I found I enjoyed it a lot more than I imagined I would enjoy such an ending. I guess the plot morphs from a canine reincarnation through to a murder whodunnit - with the obligatory twist at the end. It seems to follow the narrative of the book somewhat, but turns the whole story into a family-friendly film.
