 Unusual and original September 18, 2007

A relatively slow starter that somehow gets hold of you so you have to keep reading until the whole story has been unravelled.
Although it dips into different genres I would class it as a dark thriller with a futuristic feel, almost set in the here and now, but not quite. The strange names of the city's districts were more than a little surreal and the fact that armed police were the norm added to the futuristic vibes.
There was also a mythical air to the story which seemed accentuated by the almost gladiator style annual boxing event in the city. Along with the bad cops and mafia style underworld who always seemed to be one step ahead, it made for a very unusual yet strangely compelling novel.
 A daring, haunting, compelling read July 20, 2006

The Cutting Crew is one of those books that takes you by surprise. You might think you're going to get a good thriller, you might think you're going to get a mystery, a good scare or even a mythical fable. In fact you get all these, with a good added dash of soul. It's the kind of novel that slowly gets its claws into you without you realising - then before you know it, you're caught, inspired and enthralled.
