Book Reviews of The Terror: A Novel
Book Review: Excellent Read - Perfect blend of storytelling and suspense.
Summary: 5 Stars
A terrific story, and well told. I finished it in a matter of days. I love historical fiction and Simmons does an amazing job building the suspense and terror and uses what he has built expertly. His use of the doomed expedition as a framework in which to tell the tale is wonderful.Book Review: Would make a great movie!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great for a long winter. Simmons makes you feel the isolation these man suffer while confronting an archaic beast. It would make an awesome film if a lot of the love backstory were cut out. One of the better horror books I've read in a long time, and I highly recommend it.Book Review: Amazing Storytelling!
Summary: 5 Stars
Terror is the first Dan Simmons book I have read. It was an awesome adventure and led me to study more of the facts behind the search for an arctic passage. I highly recommend this book. And I will be reading more of Mr. Simmons works. Thanks Dan for a fantastic tripBook Review: On "The Terror"
Summary: 2 Stars
Like a number of others, I am trying to wade through this ponderous piece. How any author can make an action adventure tedious is beyond belief. But Simmons manages. I agree that this novel is about 600 pages too long. It's clear that the author gets paid by the word.Book Review: Ambient Horror -quickest 762 pages i ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
The quickest 762 pages( Hardcover) I ever read. That speaks for itself.
I would call this book ambient. The mystery, history and artic environment wraps around you. To be read on cold days. The length just gives it more time to envelope you
