The Hollow Ones
by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
"The Hollow Ones" by Guillermo del Toro is a twist on a classic story of cop vs mystery, where who "the bad guy is" isn't clear... or even a human being.
I was intrigued by this book and was excited to listen. I have loved Guillermo de Toro's stories in the past and have found stories such as "Pan's Labyrinth" and "The Shape of Water" to be fascinating. He is known for violence in his stories, but in a way that blends into intense historical fiction story lines. With that being said, I thought I was ready to read this book but it was too violent for me off the bat. The killing of children is a little too much for me. Are there readers who will read this book and love it? Of course. I just wasn't the best reader of this story and books aren't always "one size fits all."
Narrator was fine and the story seemed compelling. Would recommend to readers who have a stronger stomach.
