Book Reviews of The Conqueror Worms

Book Review: White Fuzzying Fun
Summary: 4 Stars

After reading and enjoying 'The Rising' and 'The City of the Dead' you would think I expected another good read here, but to be honest I was apprehensive. I wanted to see whether he could create a good story from something new, something fresh, which 'The Conqueror Worms' idea was. I wasn't disappointed. You are thrown straight into the thick of the story - well at the end of it - and Teddy (the 80 year old main character) goes on to explain how he arrived in the predicament that he is in.

Teddy relates the two separate stories he dictates to us to the way the Writer and Brother stories are depicted in 'The War of the Worlds', a book I love. Once again Keene has created a world of devastation and death, with creatures of a biblical proportion. He gives us characters, enables us to get to know them, even love them in cases, and then wrenches them from us in gruesome ways.

I thought this book was extremely good. But, I did think it took some time to get going early on. Overall, a worthy read.
