Title: Disappointing ,don't believe the add
Review: It seems that I belong to the minority who does not find this book amusing at all. It promises a lot but ends as a freak show run by a dastard Doctor who has a mummy as his twin-brother. Yes, Hell is mentioned in the prologue (however quite unpersuasive), but in the end there is absolutely no connection with the beginning of the book. Oh, and I forgot to mention Mr. Dismas, who somehow did not cause a stir of pity in me (despite him being beaten several times during the book for the obvious purpose to stress "the moral" of the book - that it is difficult for him to live this sick life among us, sick people). The narration is too verbose and repetitive at times. The author seem to have spent lots of times visualizing his monters before depicting them on paper, but "scary monsters do not a book make", nor a weak love story between the two invalids either... It was the first Herbert's book I read, I don 't know whether it is worth to start another...
