More book catching up:

Fangland by John Marks

I read three books this month and this was the weakest, but it is still absolutely cracking. It's the story of how a vampire tries to take over the world through the medium of television. Which sounds as bizarre as it is, but the engaging central character means there is always a personal element tying the reader into the story. There's a nd to Bram Stoker in the way that the story is told from differing viewpoints and in different forms (diary, e-mail etc). The suspense is maintained throughout the story, and the ending is no disappointment.

The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld
Another excellent book. Psychotherapy meets thriller as Freud visits the USA. There's a murder, a near-murder, and a love story. The wekness of the novel is its denoument, because it was pretty obvious all the way through. I'd have liked more of a twist. I'd also have liked a more realistic depiction of Jung, who is particularly monstrous in this book. Freud, in contrast, is a genial old chap, and I somehow think the reverse would be nearer the truth.

The Testament of Gideon Mack by James Robertson
This was the best book of the month, and the questions it raised don't go away. Did the minister really meet the devil? If he did, is the devil as bad as he appears? Is God as good? Or was Gideon Mack merely insane?
