Review: I bought this book when I was about 14 and it is now 10 years later and I still pull it out occasionally for a read. I have always been interested in Greece and Greek Mythology so this appealed to me immediately, even made me visit mykonos where it is set – which may I add is beautiful. Though I have to say I personally did not find it to be a ‘horror’ in the usual sense more a thriller, the ending being truly superb. I would hate to say too much for fear of ruining it for future readers but merely encourage you to pick it up and give it a go – even if you aren’t a teen. If you are of the same generation as me and remember Point horrors being massive then get this book! Also must say better than any computer game I have played (with the exception of Gabriel Knight – do a book on that please!!) though I would love to see this book made into a film – shame the lead would be american because I would love that part!!!
