We meet our MC Holman early on in the story and while I started the book feeling reasonably positive about him, I can’t say I finished the book particularly loving him.
I don’t mind scientific books ( The Boy on The Bridge is an example of one I loved) but I couldn’t connect with it in this book as much and it left me feeling a bit underwhelmed by the story. We instead followed our main character – the ‘one man’ who can save the planet *rolls eyes* – on his journey to destroy The Fog. There was still the inclusion of the weird Fog induced horrors, but less often. I really enjoyed reading about all the weird things The Fog made people do, chapter 6 was quite the surprise! Herbert creates the perfect blend of over the top with gruesomeness that makes the strange happenings both hilarious and disturbing.Īfter discovering The Fog is behind a string of bizarre events, the book takes on a bit of a more scientific stance. You’re immediately thrown into a bizarre world where The Fog is wreaking havoc on people’s brains and actions. This book started off super quickly and super weirdly too. I read this as part of a readalong on Instagram, hosted by is one of those books I really wanted to love more considering Herbert is kind of a UK horror icon, however, I only half loved it.
