The Yeti: a survival horror novel set on Everest (Black Atlas Book 1)
by Douglas Corleone (Goodreads Author) |
|
| I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Instead of a sensationalist monster rampage the book focused on recounting a dangerous ascent of Everest. I don't know exactly how much climbing experience the author has, but his account certainly sounds auth ...more | |

|
| A truly original take on a venerable genre. Though there's enough gore and violence to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty reader, at the heart of the story is the touching friendship between the vampire Eli and the tormented schoolboy Oskar. The book ...more | |

| I've read several of Larson's histories and found them all, including this one, to be well written and informative. He has a knack for bringing to life a critical moment in time through broad overviews mixed with vivid descriptions of the participant ...more | |

| Although I enjoyed the movie a shade better than the novel, I still thought this was an extremely well written ghost story. Matheson did an excellent job building a mounting sense of horror as the protagonist confronted a series of eerie manifestatio ...more | |

| Costain was a novelist rather than a historian, and his book is not a scholarly work but instead a highly readable overview of one of the most tumultuous periods of English history that saw the beginning of the Plantagenet dynasty that was to rule th ...more | |

| It's a mystery to me how this book got such good ratings. What could have been a fun sea monster story is ruined by poor writing. The dialog is stilted and wooden. (Doesn't the author realize that people use contractions in everyday speech?) The narr ...more | |

| The book was the literary equivalent of a Syfy Channel movie, and that's not entirely a bad thing. Silly as it was, this story of a Yeti run amuck on a frozen planet was fairly entertaining, not least because the author had the good sense to keep it ...more | |

| Dumb but fun. Some kind of monstrous beast (the book never identifies exactly what it is) goes on a killing spree in a small Alaskan town where it had done the same thing 40 years before. There's plenty of gore, mayhem and cliches but little else. In ...more | |

| A highly readable timetable of the 116 day period between the death of FDR and the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. As the clock winds down the suspense builds to an almost unbearable level of suspense as Truman, after having agonized over t ...more | |

| It's the familiar story of a young man, here a World War II vet, returned home to learn who murdered his father and extract vengeance. Though the ending is bogged down with more explanations than are necessary, it's a workmanlike treatment of corrupt ...more | |
