Nobody True James Herbert Tor Books © 2005 |
Nobody True by James Herbert is a great read from beginning to end. It starts out with great vibrancy and detail, catching the reader’s attention right from the beginning. The only think that I disliked about the book was that it had to end.
The story starts out with the main character, James True, telling about how he became to know that he was having Out of Body Experiences (OBE). After a while, he learns to control his OBE’s, and he can send his mind wherever he wants to go. After one OBE, he returns to find he no longer has a body to go back to because he was murdered. James observes his killer and becomes closer to him. But he’s dead. What can he do? He is unable to touch or move anything, and he has no way of communication.
I would recommend this book more for a high school to adult level. Some parts of it are a little too gruesome for a younger age group. I believe that anyone who is into science-fiction and mysteries would love to read this book. This book is a must read. Once you tart to read it you don’t want to put it down. The attention paid to detail is so well written that you almost feel as if you’re right in the book along with the characters. This is the type of book that actually gets you to think, “What if my life was like that?”
So if you are looking for a great book to keep your attention, I would choose this one. Once you begin to read it you’re not going to want to put it down.
