Title: Stick to the "regular" Jason books
Product review: Jason X was a pretty fun movie. But after reading now all the books, I have to say no one has really figured out how to mesh horror and sci fi nearly as well as the movie managed. A lot of bogging down in pseudo-scientific detail here, at the expense of making most of the characters interesting. And the dialogue really stuck out poorly in my mind. Klunky and artificial. There was also a bit too much interest in setting up a sequal- the last quarter of the novel doesn't so much explain why things are happening as they do, as try to create a sense of mystery we're presumably supposed to be curious about.I'd read pretty much any of the "modern" Jason books again and enjoy. Jason X is off the the used book store for trade.
