Too much human in the book. I didn't care for the characters and far too much time was spent on their interactions with each other.
The plot felt superficial, cliche and boring. It could have used a tighter structure. I didn't like the editing as it made it hard to figure out who said what in a conversation.
Absolutely no suspense in the book. Even the death scenes were not well executed, and I would definitely have rated the book higher if they had been fun, suspenseful or exciting.
For a book about a snake too little time was dedicated to it. When the snake finally got some attention it felt rushed.

This little novel, of the type one would find at most pharmacies back in the 80x, is a horror tale concerning a giant Taipan, a deadly snake found in Australia. The novel was made into a schlock horror film called "Spasms" starring Oliver Reed. The movie departs from the book by adding a supernatural e!ement. The Taipan in the book is abnormally large but otherwise normal. The plot of the tale is gripping and the characters believable.
