The Mountain King

Rating:
Summary: Who cares?
Review: With virtually no character building you really don't get involved enough to give one rat's butt who get's ripped to shreds. There are a few suspenseful moments but Rick Relies too heavily on the gross-out factor to consider this a good horror novel. How many times can each character think to themselves "I wonder if I really just saw that" or "Did that really just happen?". In one scene I wanted to yell "Yes, it really does exist - there's a G@%damn bigfoot lying dead at your feet!" One compliment - I don't think anyone can describe a "shadowy" area as many times in as many pages of writing.

Review: With virtually no character building you really don't get involved enough with the people to give one rats butt who gets ripped to shreds. Yes there are a few suspensful moments but Rick leans way to hard on the gross-out factor to consider this a good horror novel. How many times can each character think to themselves "I wonder if I actaully just saw that?" or "Did this really happen?" - In one scene I wanted to yell "Yes, a damn bigfoot is dead at your feet - it does exist!!!" (don't worry I didn't spoil anything if you still plan on reading this). One compliment - I don't think anyone can explain a "shadowy area" more times in as many pages of writing.
