The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan

3.0

This book was just ok. I thought the story moved quickly and it had me hooked to keep reading but throughout the beginning and middle it felt repetitive. In the beginning I was just waiting and waiting for the action to start and it took a while for anything significant to happen. Then in the middle we know that plane passengers are returning home to their families to feed so why do we have to relive that same action 7 different times with all the minor characters? That being said, it was an entertaining read though nothing spectacular. I liked the idea of the Ancients thrown in there to bring some originality to an already popular subject.
