Summary: This is a stunning book!!
Review: I work in a library and when i was looking for a book to read i chose this one cause i had never seen the movie. After reading a few pages i was hooked. From beginning to end you get sucked into the world of John Hobbes who is trying to find a killer that could be anyone on the street and who can change from person to person just by contact. After finishing it i only have one thing to say: where's the SEQUEL!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Summary: One of the most original thrillers ever devised.
Review: In the situation of a film being based on a book, it is usually the book which is better. But who would have thought that a book based on a film could be so good? That is probably the biggest surprise about this book, unlike what I expected, it seemed to capture everything the film produced. The atmosphere, the background setting, and the description were all so detailed and the impression one receives from this work is one of extreme hard concentration in order to satisfy the reader to the max. It's any wonder the writer made the publishing deadline with such stunning quality. Fallen is a tale following righteous cop, John Hobbes as he investigates a series of brutal murders. Which, at first, sounds a bit dull to base a story on, and appears to offer no more than most other thrillers. But the original twist to this story is one that pleases fans who were expecting it and surprises readers who didn't see it coming. I can say no more without revealing the plot, but anyone who has seen the film should definitely read the book. As well as explaining any questions or parts of the plot that fans of the film couldn't understand, it also offers a lot more background, a splendidly vivid descriptive narration, and a guaranteed remarkable read. However, the violence scenes and language are more harsh/graphic over suggestive as in the film, and under-agers should stay away. Aside from that, pick this up whether you've heard of this or not, because you will almost definitley be surprised.
