A review by pjonsson
From Hell by Greig Beck
3.0
This series have some good books and some fairly mediocre books. This one is closer to the latter than the first. In many of the books the author has ventured into the realm of ancient mythology or prehistoric creatures and some of those stories has really been quite cool.
In this one however, the story, or rather the monstrosity Alex is facing in the story, seems to be more from the authors fantasy than from any existing mythological or prehistoric source. To me, this monstrosity, felt way too far out, illogical and too unbelievable for my taste.
I also do not like the twist the author has taken with this “the Other” thing that constantly threatens to take over Alex’s mind. Alex is a cool, seriously kick-ass, special forces operative with “special” powers and I kind of like it to stay like that. The internal monologue and other complications just messes up the story for me.
Having said that, Alex and his HAWC buddies are still very much kick-ass and contributes to some nice action in the book. Apart from the unbelievable monstrosity, the story is not really bad. Overall I have to say that I enjoyed the book even though it had some flaws.
The ending was cheap though. That’s the kind of cheap ending I would expect from some cheap horror movie, not from this kind of book. Totally unnecessary.
