A review by ossifrage
The Strain by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
3.0
Good story and there were several very scary moments, but overall it fell a little bit short for me.
It seems a trend in movies and books that the writer does a poor job of actually getting us to CARE about the people in the book. I had more feelings for some of the minor characters than I did for the protagonist.
I wonder if it is the mark of someone over-dependent on the visual storytelling medium that makes this seem a little hollow? Not really sure.
I am looking forward to reading the other books, and it is a great vacation read, but I was expecting more from the name del Toro.
