This was the 1st book I read of Simon Kernick and I was hooked after the 1st chapter. This man has a great mind and he is a genius, I now own all but The Last 10 Seconds.....

This is my favourite book of Simons. This book is the reason ive started reading again, before I found Mr Kernick I was a reader of books. I love his writing style, pack full of fast paced action and plenty of twists and turn. I'm slowly making my way through his collection and I'm enjoying all of them. Thanks Simon.

I read Severed about a month ago, after the preceeding novel.
It's way better than Relentles! I felt as though I could have sat there all day and knocked the whole thing out in one go! But sadly, I had to return to college.

Severed - the 2nd Kernick novel I've read! I think this would make a really good film!!!!
I didn't want to put it down! I couldn't get anything else done for thinking about what might be coming next, I had to keep going back and reading...just one more chapter... just one more page page ...!

my god simon this was theee best book ive ever read in my whole life. i loved the suspense of not knowing what was coming next, the thought of one days work doing so much damage to so many lives. finished the book in 5hours, ive read it four times already and man i just want more cause it keeps getting better, all the best man- you rock. poor Tyler.

im already confused, on the back of the book it says he got a phone call and someone told him to press play, but in the book its just a cardboard sign with Press play on it? so far so good though, really enjoying it!

first of Simons i read, and i loved every bit of it. i feel lucky that i still have 5 of his to read, and hopefully once they're read, he'll have another! feel as gripped as when the Potters came out, and that's a compliment Mr Kernick! Well done.....
