Review: More Bloody Horowitz, by Anthony Horowitz



Anthony Horowitz is best known for his Alex Rider series, but he also has a wicked sense of humour and it's fully on display here. Right from the first story, The Man who Killed Darren Shan, to the 'Editor's note' at the end, these stories never stop surprising you. Even when you know there must be a twist coming, it's hard to see them ahead of time.

The book itself is beautifully printed in an old fashioned style and the cover is vivid and eye catching. This is sure to be a bestseller.


"Are you really a machine?" Cameron asked.

"I am. But you don't need to think of me that way, dear. I'd like to be your friend."

"What's your name?"

"Tamsin."

"Tamsin? Tamsin?" Cameron played with the name for a moment. "If you're really made of metal, I'm going to call you Tin Sam," he announced.

And that was the name that stuck.
