A review by leighnonymous
Berserk by Tim Lebbon
4.0
I decided to attempt a novel by Lebbon because I was moderately impressed with his collection of short stories, "Fears Unnamed." The problem he ran into with those stories, despite the great premises, was the ending. It's rare in my experience to find a horror novel or horror movie that ends things in a satisfactory manner.
Well, this book does. I liked the premise, I liked the set-up, I liked the characters, I liked the action, I liked the twists (that's plural), and I liked the ending. It seemed strange to follow Natasha along, her being an unmoving corpse and all, but after a while you just think to yourself, "Hey, she's a talking corpse who died ten years ago. So, what?" Lebbon's pretty amazing for even making a reader think such a thing.
I couldn't give it a full five stars because it does have a bit of vampire stuff in it; albeit, it's a zombie vampire (if that makes sense), but it's still a vampire. I'll definitely read more of him.
