Title: NOT FOR MONSTER FANS LIKE ME
Review: This is a difficult one to review because its all build-up to the final reveal and some will like it and others will be thoroughly disappointed. Right away I must warn those looking for a monster book that this isn't the typical monster-on-a-rampage book that one might expect. Most of the action takes place after the few attacks and the story mainly focuses on how the news of a possible monster on the loose affects the town and its sheriff. Me, I'm a monster fan. I want to know what the monster is/looks like and I want it to make many appearances and be the source of much gory mayhem. This is more of a mystery in the vein of an "X-files" episode ("Quagmire" comes to mind). Therefore, the writing was good, but I'm not a fan of the story or the resolution.
Is the review positive or negative?
