The Forbidden Zone

Rating:
Summary: Give this one a miss
Review: One of the worst books I've ever (tried to) read. Had to skip to the end, and even then it wasn't worth the time commitment.

Rating:
Summary: Great book depicting the coming of the end of the world.
Review: Suspenseful, great reading.

Summary: Silly monster novel entertains
Review: This book has more in common with John Carpenter's version of The Thing than it does with H.P. Lovecraft's classic mythos stories. Some strange creature zaps people with a hypnotic light and takes over their bodies, turning them into shape shifting things. The handful of survivors try to escape a world that is being rapidly invaded and changed. Action packed and fun on its own terms, nonetheless the novel suffers from a certain lack of depth.

Summary: Eeech!
Review: This novel is worse than the worst I read as a tad in Amazing Stories back in the 40's! No plot, paper (not even cardboard) characters,and impossible dialogue. I finished it just for the challange.Wolf in the Adirondacks.

Summary: Unbelievably bad
Review: Whitley Strieber has written some very intelligent, scary, thought-provoking stuff -- and this ain't it. It tries to be, by turns, sexy, scary, and really really gross, and fails miserably on all counts (well, it does manage to be pretty gross). There are no believable characters, the horror is too over-the-top and cartoonish to be scary, and the plot is beyond stupid.
