Horowitz devised the 2009 ITV crime drama Collision and co-wrote the screenplay with Michael A. Walker.Horowitz was born in Stanmore, Middlesex, into a Jewish family, and in his early years lived an upper middle class lifestyle. [2] [3] [4] An overweight and unhappy child, Horowitz enjoyed reading books from his father's library. As a child, Horowitz used to go to Instow, where his nanny took him boating on the River Torridge. He also had a stuffed monkey named Benjamin (which was later eaten by his dog). [5] The main thing I liked about this book were the details, the similes and metaphors within the descriptions of characters and confrontations (especially, for example, toward the end when the weather reflected the drama very effectively). I've noticed that most of the characters have one key detail that accompanies theme whenever they appear throughout the book whether it is Finn with his cob web tattoo covering half of his face or Solo's short stature or Marion Thorn's beauty or Eric Snarby's sty in his eye. I think the author has done a great job of not making the plot too confusing - as one might expect the concept of describing two people inhabiting each others body's might be complex and hard to follow at times but Anthony Horowitz has done a great job at structuring this story.

[35] Continued success (2011–present) [ edit ] Even though Tad started off unlikeable, he changed for the better as he spent more time in Bob's shoes (literally).

Several other characters were mildly fleshed out so no one was really wholly "good" or "bad". The ending wasn't exactly expected but it was fitting for the story. Horowitz, Anthony.
