    Good Points: Great characterization, well thought out storyline and an imagination worthy of Clive Barker! This is a well-written novel that will keep you gripped from the start.


    Bad Points: Unfortunetly this novel has a rather poor ending. For some reason it seems that Mr. Morris ran out of steam at the end and just finished the novel in the easiest, quickest possible way. A real shame.


    General comments: Mark Morris, The Secret Of Anatomy - Having heard about the author Mark Morris through the incredibly talented Clive Barker, I was indeed intrigued. Following his recommendation, I bought myself a copy of The Secret of Anatomy and dived straight in. Morris has found himself a happy medium between a Hutson novel, a Barker novel and maybe even a hint of Herbert. After the first hundred pages or so, I got completly absorbed into the novel, reluctant to put it down even for a minute. A plot carefully taken from ideas in movies such as Assault on Precinct 13 and Dawn Of The Dead with a definite Clive Barker fantasy/horror style, this novel held me gripped from the beginning. There is an underlying climax to the stoyline, which steadily builds throughout the novel, as the reader braces themself for the dramatic ending....and then alas, Mr. Morris fails us in the final 20 pages! I feel as cheated (controversally so) as when I read Shrine by James Herbert. Mark, what were you thinking? This could have been an epic novel, worthy of holding up against some of the best horror/fantasy novels out there! What a disappointment. But then, up until then the novel was great, so I would still highly recommend this novel to anyone who is in to horror/fantasy fiction. If only young Mark hadn't finished it in such a cop-out of a way. I will still rate Mr. Morris rather highly regardless of the ending, and I recommend giving this a read, but be warned...we are talking about an ending worthy of 'The Stand' by Stephen King!!!!!!!!!
