Was quite entertaining throughout. The ending was a bit less so ( ) Even though this was a fairly predictable read in terms of how the story played out (though with a few twists that I really enjoyed), Page's talent for description and the fast pace of the book made me glad to have picked it up. I do wish there'd been more depth to characterization, and there's no doubt that this book is a product of the '70s, but on the whole, it was a fun, fast read with some great action a considered portrayal of bigfoot that I really appreciated. Recommended for classic horror fans, readers who want bigfoot in their stories, and followers of the Paperbacks from Hell series. (Note that the Grady Hendrix intro has some light spoilers, but is worth reading after-the-fact or once you're well into the reading.) Holy shit, this story is all over the place. A mad Indian, an obsessed hunter, both chasing a creature that may be a spirit, a Sasquatch, a product of evolution gone wrong, maybe a result of cross-species breading, all converging on a lodge in the forest that results in a final battle to the death. I eventually just wished the author would stick to one explanation and settle there, but nope, maybe there was yet another explanation to what the creature is. Overall, the action kept me intrigued enough to follow the story thru to the end, but unfortunately I don't think this is a book that I'll be revisiting anytime soon. One of the Paperbacks From Hell that just did not work for me. Matt Godfrey's narration is good. He keeps the story moving and makes the action feel palpable. His performance is probably what kept me vested in listening to the end. I would like to thank Valancourt Books for providing a free audio download of THE SPIRIT in exchange for a fair and honest review. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

He worships its power and he'll kill to protect it. Desperate, exhausted, half-starved, Moon will follow it wherever it goes.For Raymond Jason, killing it has become an obsession. He was the only survivor of a hunting trip to the Rockies where the hunters became the monster's prey. Now he is determined to track the creature down and destroy it. But when the two men finally corner their quarry they set loose a flood of terror and destruction that may leave no survivors. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
