Summary: Pulp
Review: It's been a while (or six years) since I've read a Predator book. I remember liking them when I was a kid but now, after being exposed to writing far more sophisticated and intelligent, these kind of books are no more than pulp. But entertaining in a lowest common denominator way. The story of 'Big Game' is taken from the 1993 comic book of the same name. A native American soldier is hunted by the predator out in the desert. They fight in unexciting ways and the mystical babble preceding every chapter about Indian legends and spirits being invoked to fight the Predator fast become repetitive and boring. It's not terribly unique or engaging. There is no atmosphere or pathos. Characters are introduced, described and then killed. You can tell as soon as a new character turns up that they are going to die if they have less than a paragraph of description to them. The book feels very padded this way.

And the Pred himself is kinda boring. There's no connection to him or real sense of menace. In fact, tho the writer calls him a hunter (but never once a 'Predator'), he appears to be more of an indiscriminate murderer than an alien hunting for honor and sport. A rather weak story indeed. But perhaps I'm being over-critical. This is a book for 13 year olds or someone looking to pass the hours of a long journey. Do not read Predator: Big Game looking for sophistication or a thumping good slice of Predator lore. It's low-quality stuff. The constant spelling errors only prove this.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Half-Way Decient
Review: Out of the 2 predator books I've read (this and Cold War) this is the better one. It has more action in it and even shows some (when I say some I mean a few sentences) parts of the book from the predator's point of view. The book was relatively well written and I thought it was worthy of recieving 3 stars. But if you're trying to decide on either Cold war or Big Game, go for this one!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It was to predictable.
Review: Sandy Schofield is an excellent writer; when I read Aliens: Rogue, I was breathless throughout the whole story. However, Predator: Big Game was too short, and you never really got to know the characters except for Enoch Nakai. It was never explained why the Predator blew up his own ship, and as far as "The Hunt" goes that the Predators always embark on when they come to Earth, there wasn't anything significant about it in Big Game. All it was was "Bang, you're dead" over and over and over. It got boring. I didn't even want to finish the story for fear of being completely dissatisfied. All in all, I hope your next book can be as good as Aliens: Rogue, Sandy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Predator Big Game
Review: This book has a really good moral to it!
I liked this book because it ties in with Indians, and that makes for a good plot in my opinion. It is about a Navajo Indian, who is in the army stationed in a desert base, and he confronts an alien life form whose sole purpose is to prove to humans that they are not the dominant species. There is a lot of action in this book as well as blood and gore, so someone who likes the Aliens/Predator series will love this book. But because of how many typos there are in the book, I will give it a 4.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Predator Big Game
Review: This is my first predator book and i thought that it was an exellent one. It starts out talking about predator and that makes you want to read further. The gore is very detailed and the action is intense, the story was great. Get this book by all means. You will regret it if you dont.

Rating: 5 stars
