Where is part two?! - Rated
I bought Pig Island as I had read Mo Hayder's other books. For me the story started well with allegations of satanism on the island and Oakesy the reporter going to investigate. After that it seemed to stagnate and then tail away(pun intended)so much that by the end I was looking for the next 100 pages.
All in all, very disappointing.

Almost impossible to believe this is the same author who penned the excellent books The Treatment and Tokyo.

I started this book whilst on a coach to wembley this weekend. I literally just grabbed it from the shelf. Although I thought the story between arriving on the island and the action happening was a bit rushed the story is interesting and well thought out. I think if she had one through the whole plot thoroughly it could have ended as a lord of the rings type epic. I personally like a book to leave me thinking and asking questions...keep me guessing after Ive finished the last page.
If you want a simple all explained plot dont necessarily read this book as it will leave questions to be answered...

I actually liked this book. Its the first book from this author I have read so will try the others too!
I did lose interest maybe two thirds of the way through I have to say, but I persevered. I kind of agree with a previous comment- it did seem like the ending was rushed or ideas maybe ran out.
If the Author is reading these reviews....maybe you could explain the ending to me-I wasnt impressed with it at all, I like HAPPY ENDINGS!! Im going to reread it this evening as it did leave me a little confused.
All in all its a good book, and I am reccomending it.

Mo Hayder was born in Essex. Mo left school at 15 and worked as a barmaid, security guard, film-maker, hostess in a Tokyo club, educational administrator and teacher of English as a foreign language in Vietnam. Those jobs would I think give anybody an insight into how people's minds work and how they react in different circumstances. All of which is extremely useful information for a writer.
Joe Oakes is a journalist who makes a crust exposing supernatural hoaxes. Joe is a strong believer in the fact that there is a rational explanation for everything, that is until he visit's a secret religious community on a remote Scottish island. Everything he thought he believed in is turned upside down and the questions build up in his mind. Why has this small community been accused of Satanism?
Why will no one discuss the strange apparation seen wandering the lonely beaches of Pig Island/ Why does the island have the stink of evil about it? Has Oakes been wrong all these years and is his stubbornness going to be the death of him?
