The Revelation by Bentley Little
3.0
3.5 STARS
The one problem I frequently have with Bentley Little's books is his tendency toward Shyamalan-esqe genre twists at the end. You're reading along, thinking what a great story this is, with such a plausible human threat, and suddenly it's aliens or demons or some completely bizarre supernatural thing the author came up with. I still always like Bentley Little's books. I just sometimes feel a little ripped off, because I like human threats more than supernatural ones.
This book didn't give me that problem. From start to finish, it's exactly what it leads you to believe it's going to be. Yes, that makes it slightly predictable, but it has a excellent cast of characters -- even the ones you don't like will interest you -- and there is some truly wonderfully written gore.
