The Strain
by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
I think I only made it through this book because I was listening to the audiobook. As a story being told to me it was basically like I was watching a movie. If I had been sitting down reading it I think I would have groaned myself into submission. It's a pretty cliche story with lame stereotype characters and it seems like it would appeal more to the Boondock Saints-loving frat boys towards the end when there's a whole team of vampire hunters assembled. Still, it was entertaining enough to listen to, and I'll probably get the following sequels audiobooks as well for the same reason. If it is made into a movie -- and it sure seems like it was written with that exact intent -- it'll definitely be a good enough popcorn flick to warrant a ticket purchase. Just temper your expectations slightly.
