kpwerker 's review for:
The Strain
by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
By jove, I hate this book. I got halfway through, and just couldn't slog through the banal prose, the elementary scenes and the predictable characters. I love me a medical thriller (and this one, at least in the first half, is very much treated as medical), but this one is so formulaic, so shallow and so crudely written, I just can't keep going.
I hope, though, that del Toro will make a movie out of it. Because he's a damn good movie maker. So I bet he'd cut out 3/4 of the repetitive descriptions, add several layers of sophistication, and end up with a stunningly horrifying, suspenseful vampire thriller.
