Summary: Uhhhhhh...
Review: ...It was poorly written, borrowed WAY too much from the movies, and just seemed like a cheesy Saturday afternoon movie. The stuff that happened in that book was impossible, or next to impossible, and this is funny because the book is supposed to be science fiction. Perish forbid, I love the movies, but this book doesn't deserve the title. First of all, they use Arnold's brother, and he even is suppose to be just like Arnold. Then they chalk him up full of one liners "Good, maybe then I can get a nice apartment." and all this other stuff. Arnold can only deliever the perfect one liners. Another thing I find dumb is when he just flys down to South America to visit a drug lord and spends his money to get there (not the drug lord).I fail to see why this has 4 stars, I'd expected 2 and a half stars for the total review. It just wasn't that good of a book and I feel I have somehow lost intelligence from reading it...

Summary: An action packed story...
Review: A good idea to put Dutch's brother against the predators! This book has a lot of action and I liked that, but the action is not very realistic in some parts. Like when Schaefer manaced to run a long way to a predator and kill him with a metal pipe, and the predator just stood there?! But the plot is quite good and pictures are well drawn. But that is the only bad part in this one. This is the first predator only book I've read, and I am going to keep buing them 'cause this was so cool!

Summary: Nonpretentious Brain Candy,
Review: And all the better for it! The book stars a couple of cops in the narcotics division of the NYPD and their fight with a group of Predators. There are not a lot of surprises or twists in the plot, but it is no less fun as a result of those absences. It is a fun read, and it is short enough for a plane trip, a couple hours on the beach, or just a short evening on the couch in front of the fireplace and radio. In short, if you like Predator (not the second movie, it [was bad]), and you wanted a bit more action, pick this up. You won't be disappointed. If you are looking for something that requires a little bit of thought, keep looking you haven't found it yet. But, like I said, great for a two-hour brain-break. Enjoy!

Summary: I loved it!
Review: I bought this book for my little brother for Christmas and had to read it first (to make sure it was OK). Boy was I surprised! If you enjoyed the Predator movies, get this book. It picks up where the first Predator movie drops off, but don't worry, It's much different than the Predator II movie. I recommend you watch both movies before reading this book so you have a decent background, then buy it and have a great time!

Summary: What a crappy book!
Review: I dont understand why people here think it can even be just a little good! It was so bad, i stopped 130 pages into it, i simply couldn't get myself to read any more of it! For what i could see, it was a bad story. And it was very bad writtin, not the grammar, just the why they made people say things. They made the persons reactions to "big", to be good. I couldn't stand it, but hey, thats just my oppinion.

Summary: Forget "Predator 2" -- this book makes a better sequel!
Review: I was sorely disappointed by the movie "Predator 2," being a huge fan of the original movie, but reading Predator: Concrete Jungle soothed me over. This book reads like it could be a legitimate movie, as does the even BETTER sequel; "Cold War." For some, the thought of trying to envision someone other than Dutch is too much to ask. I know Danny Glover didn't exactly do it for me in Predator 2. But this time around, the story falls on his brother's shoulders, and I loved how they made mention of Dutch from the first movie and his mysterious aftermath since surviving the Predator. Very believable. I cheated and imagined Dutch's brother looking like a twin of Arnold Schwarzegger in both books, but if you ask me, it all seemed to be the reasonably smart choice in getting the best read out of Concrete Jungle. Great book!

Summary: Read This.
Review: I would give this book about 3 and 1/2 stars if i could. the story was ok, but there was way to much cursing, not just in the diolog, but also in the words of the 3rd person. this reduses the amount of stars that i would give it. also the ending was alittle... uninterresting. but the overall storyline was wounderful. do read this book. it is my first Predator book, the next will be COLD WAR.

Review: Nathan Archer does an outstanding job writing this Predator adventure. If only the movies would put this much into it!
