It´s my second read of this book and it is still as fun as I remember. The perfect novel when you just want to read something fastpaced, actionpacked and suspenseful and you don´t want to use a lot of brainpower on the words you are reading. And to all of you who don´t like gore: there is a lot of i...
This was fun and not my normal genre. I had these audiobooks recommended by a friend and they are definitely well worth listening too. Though I have to say, if I didn't listen to it I'm not sure I would have finished reading it. The plot didn't totally grab me. The narration did. The museum is un...
Relic is a lot of fun. Picture Jurassic Park, but in New York's Museum of Natural History. The suspense is great, plenty of bloody monster action. The science was a little hokey, but if you're one who can suspend belief for just long enough to enjoy the story, you're going to enjoy Relic. I have...
"Relic" was published only twenty years ago but it reads like it's from at least a decade earlier - less "Jurrasic Park", more "Poseidon Adventure". "Relic" is based on a complex idea on how a monstrous creature might evolve but the exposition of the idea is clumsily done. Most of the book reads l...
Pretty good novel with an old school creature feature vibe going on. Have I seen the movie? Probably. Obviously, it has been a while since I have seen it and/or it didn’t leave much of an impression. I am going to look it up. The writing was nothing spectacular, but the story itself was more than ad...
"My dear girl, there are more things in heaven and earth, as Hamlet pointed out. It isn't always for us to speculate. Sometimes we must simply observe." -Dr. Frock This is one scary, creepy monster story. The New York Museum of Natural History is getting ready to unveil the Superstition exhibiti...
This one is a re-read for me. I read the book right after the movie came out because I loved the film so much. I found Chuck Palahniuk and Thomas Harris the same way. Fight Club and Silence of the Lambs were both movies I had no idea were originally books. As with most film adaptations, the books we...
For too long a time have I been stuck in a reader's funk, happy to read about reading, yet loath to actually read more than a few pages at a time. Ads, tweets, and teal-deer summaries, I hate to say, may have made mincemeat of my attention span. My desire to read everything, if I entertain it even a...
I was predisposed to like this book. It's set in New York City's Museum of Natural History. I'm a New York City native who lives within walking distance of the museum; it has been a favorite place since childhood--so I got a kick out of the descriptions of the museum's rooms and of the neighborhood....
