mrfrank's review against another edition
4.0
Kevin Strange's TEXAS CHAINSAW MANTIS is everything you'd expect of a Kevin Strange book. Its full on, whacked out, monsterous fun. There are no surprises and no punches pulled. This is Strange doing what Strange does.
Though it is everything you expect from the author, the action is still captivating. The plot is pretty crazy and the bug characters are still relatable. He did a very good job making you care about giant mutant bugs. Thats important, without that connection to the characters, the story would fall short.
If you have read Strange before, this is a garunteed win. If you haven't, this is a good place to start. TEXAS CHAINSAW MANTIS is a bat shit crazy that anyone can keep up with. And, fear not, there IS a giant monster made out of the bodies of small monsters, a KS trademark if there ever was one.
