His books are very direct and blunt in places where they are needed to be. Over the years, James's books have continued to amaze the public, but what makes them so effective? First, his style of writing takes a different path from most of the other crime writing community. I can imagine talking to a man who is describing his death-defying tales and secrets to you! I myself was wondering why the man would do such a thing, and then not kill the person with whom he had shared his record? Surely a man willing to go to these depths must really want his books to be accurate and impressive to the brain! While talking to the owner he discovered that he was the biggest criminal in the area. Imagine the adrenaline rushing through your body as you made your way towards certain death, or maybe just a really hard beating! The second incident was even more spectacular in nature than the first. James was genuinely afraid that they were going to be attacked that night, but stated that these situations always excite him to his core.



On attempting to bring them in, they realized that they would be outnumbered and called for back-up. While spending time with the Brighton police force, James and a partner from the force stumbled upon some gang members one night. And, crucially for the crime genre, he seems to be well-educated on the facts behind his fiction.įrom his time spent in the field, he recalled to us two of his most peculiar, funny and slightly intimidating experiences. From reading Peter James's books, you will find that he is quite a mature and piquant man, but he has a profound dark side. You will find that it shall betray their personalities to you. Some might argue that a picture paints a thousand words, but you can always find out about a writer from a few pages of his or her books. But as a voracious reader, I admire writers that are introduced to me and try to explore their personalities through reading their books. Not being all too familiar with the work of Peter James, I was struck with curiosity when we were informed that he would be coming to our school to talk with us.
