Typical monster story, fun and exciting. Sometimes the characters had to do dumb things for the story to continue, but not enough to make me stop reading. Interesting setting and I liked the insertion of the TV crew into the story.
I like the Arctic setting, but I wanted to see more from Logan's point of view. There was a good description of the creature and their way to defeat it was clever.
I'm 70 years old and this book kinda reminded me of some of the SF movies from the 1950's! Some of the characters really stood out - The film director & medicine man were a few notables. A bit of a mystery to the book but solved near the end! I enjoyed it!!
Ok I really like Douglass Preston and Lincoln Child but this book by Lincoln Child alone was missing something...specifically character development. I could care less about the characters. Some of them made sense in regards to the storyline but still most of the characters were one dimensional. One in particular just made no sense why he was there. I'm talking about you, Logan. I guess he is supposed to be the mystery character and maybe he'll be like Pendergast (a protagonist in other books by Mr. Preston and Mr. Child) but he just wasn't really connected to the story in anyway. One of the last pages is supposed to give us some clue about who he is and I guess tie him to other books but at that point I really didn't care. Even the mystery monster wasn't that fleshed out, I guess it really didn't connect to why it was killing those around it. Even the “legend” behind it was weak. Overall I was very disappointed in this book.
