scottmh 's review for:

The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
3.0

I really enjoyed the first 3/4 of this book. But the last 1/4 of the book really starts to drag. I think it took me longer to read the last 100 pages than the first 300. The mystery of the airplane, the espionage and the lore of the vampires was really interesting. However, once the virus was being spread I feel like there is just a lull in action. Almost like the author had an agreed page count and had to fluff it up to get there in the end. I am going to give the whole trilogy a go so I am hoping this isn’t a preview for things to come.
