Book Reviews of Came a Spider

Book Review: A "Creepy Crawler" that would make a fine movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the first book I've read by author Edward Levy, but it certainly won't be my last! (I'm already looking for copies of "The Beast Within" and "The People Next Door".) "Came a Spider" is an extremely readable book that flies along at a brisk pace. The action starts practically from page one and doesn't bog down at any point in the book.

The story revolves around an innocent encounter between a young boy and a scientifically-mutated spider. When the boy is violently attacked by the spider and infused with hundreds of spider eggs, he becomes a human incubator for the millions of arachnids that follow. Soon the city of Los Angeles and possibly the entire West Coast is threatened to be overrun by these mutant tarantulas. Levy really pours on the suspense and does a very good job describing the grisly spider attacks on the Californa populace. Government officials are soon faced with the fact that if they don't take drastic action soon, they may lose the battles with the arachnids. Does science or the military come to the rescue? You'll have to read the book to find out.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for those who like a good "nature-goes-awry" yarn!
