The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
2.0
I went in with high expectations, and was disappointed. For the first third of the book, I kept waiting for something to happen. Then, when something did, it was to gross me out to the point where I had to put it down and stop reading. I should've taken that as a signal, but I was determined. The last half of the book was very formulaic.
It sounded like such a promising premise. In the end, though, it just couldn't break out of the horror/thriller/vampire/zombie mold. I won't be picking up the other 2 parts of the trilogy, unless they're a vast improvement.
