PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Sergei Lukyanenko is a prolific writer, author of over 25 books. The three volumes of the Night Watch Trilogy have sold over two million hardcovers between them. Night Watch has been adapted into a hugely successful film, which outgrossed The Return of the King and the latest Harry Potter in Russia, and has been distributed round the world.
Night Watch is an epic of extraordinary power -- Quentin Tarantino When a particular kind of story, heavily based in one culture, gets transferred into a culture distinctly different, something magical happens ... Something modern, new and distinctly creepy ... continues to work because the magic is rooted in the realities of modern Russia ... Inventive, sardonic, and imbued with a surprising the sense that, for this author and his audience, much of this stuff is new-minted * Independent * JK Rowling, Russian style ... arguably Russia's richest and most famous literary talent of the moment ... [a] cracking read, owing more to Rowling or Philip Pullman than it does to the horror genre ... surprisingly readable and addictive...it relies on suspense and psychological drama and a good dose of humour - rather than blood and guts * Daily Telegraph * So good that the film feels like a trailer for it * Time Out * This modern day mythical fantasy is Anne Rice on an epic scale, a hugely imagined world ... a chiller thriller from cold of Russia, this one's been selling like hot cakes around the world * Sunday Sport *
