Vick's Vultures by Scott Warren
3.0
I legitimately can’t tell if this book is terrible or intentionally campy. As such, I’m going to write this review as of it is an intentionally campy trope-ridden comedy.
If this book were a movie, it would belong on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It is perfect to over-analyze every little thing and laugh at how stilted the dialogue is. Really, anything related to people just comes off as so hilariously bad it is enjoyable when you’re not worried about injuring yourself with eye-rolls. That said, the things not related to people are made up of some pretty decent ideas, like war-like humans being sneakier than the ancient alien civilizations. Are these ideas well executed? Not really, but see above.
Ummm, I’m not sure who I’d recommend this to, but if the above sounds good to you, go for it?
