nikzbookcorner 's review for:

The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan

3.0

---

So after I read the reviews, come to find out that this was originally pitched as a TV series. And to be frank, it kinda read like one. Sometimes the reading got a bit over-informative, using 10 pages to describe the character's plight toward impending doom which, quite honestly, would have sufficed with just 3. Don't get me wrong, I love details. Although sometimes, less is more. BUT (yes there is a but!) I will say that it was highly entertaining. Offering up the prefect amount of horror with a great side of creepy. It kept me turning the pages wanting more.
