So I was recommended the book Creepers by a friend mentioning it was a really good novel about urban exploration gone wrong, seeing this in the secondhand book store I picked it up without taking much note of the blurb.

Upon starting this, it seemed rather dull with disappearances taking place on the subway in New York and there I was wondering when the urban exploration part was going to start. Half way through with nothing happening but strange sightings in the subway and a bit of transit police detective procedural happening I came to the unfortunate realisation that the book my friend was referring to was Creepers by David Morrell, not Creepers by Robert Craig.

Nonetheless I ploughed on hoping things would improve, they didn't. There's the makings of a decent tale here but the exception is, well, crap. I found it to be quite the dull book, whilst the main character Frank Corelli has the gritty never give up attitude it just wasn't enough to make the story interesting, let alone compelling.

I now see why it was a mere 50 cents at the second hand book store. It sucks.… (mais)
