This was decent for a quick YA novel by the master of horror Graham Masterton. I liked the characters but the constant talk about making coffee or cups of tea which is mentioned like 50 times had laughing.

This is a good book, it reminds me of a YA goosebumps and that's why I gave it five stars

Another great book from the Master of Horror, Graham Masterton. An easy and quick read; ideal as a first foray into the horror genre for Young Adult readers.

Used to read the point horror's as a teenager, picked this up at a swap and wanted to pass on for halloween. Really interesting to read as more of a grown-up ... 1) wow the late 90s date! 2) we gave 'kids' a lot more credit for intellegence than the obvious stuff shoved on them these days.
Good plot, occasionally veres into the silly but overall it's cleverly worked and paced. Far better book than people would consider probably.

This is the first Graham Masterton book that I have read. The story centres around a teenager called John. He gets a job in an Estate Agents because his family need help to pay the bills. On his very first day he makes a mistake. It is a mistake that leads him to discover that things are not what they seem at his workplace.
When I started this book I was really intrigued and could not wait to discover what may happen next. The story gets strange very quickly and although I still wanted to find out what happened at the end of the book, the middle part just did not hold my attention. This book is aimed at a younger audience than me which is one of the reasons I chose this book. I get scared very easily and thought that this book would be okay for me to read at night. I was right, this book did not scare me at all.

I used to absolutely LOVE the Point Horror books! I would go through each of them in one sitting, for the most part. They definitely tweaked my interested in the horror genre.
