The Strain: Book One of The Strain Trilogy Audiobook

" A definite page turner. Literally could not put it down! "

" Will make a good TV show..... "

" Very interesting and detail, it really takes you to the places where the characters are developing, it gets you scared. "

" loved it. could not put it down. "

" Enjoyed it tremendously, but I preferred World War Z much more. "

" I appreciate what del Toro is trying to do here. His vampires aren't rock 'n roll stars, nor are they dreamy. They're scary and bad-ass. But the oh-so-slow pacing puts a stake in the heart of any enjoyment I might've gotten out of this book. I won't be reading the other two in the trilogy (like we need another vampire trilogy). Even worse - I listened to the the audiobook. Ron Perlman is a horrible, horrible narrator. "

" Loved this book. couldn't put it down! The beginning is something that just sticks with you. "

" Meh. Not the best but definitely not the worst horror/vampire book. Don't know if I'm invested enough to read the other 2 in the trilogy. "

" This is a trilogy I randomly started, with a different take on vampires. It's completely different than anything I've seen on the subject before, and very entertaining. "

" Anyone who likes Stephen King will enjoy this book. It was so suspenseful. I listened to the audiobook version. I was walking down the street listening to this book, and a lady jogged passed me. I almost jumped out of my skin, scared me to pieces. "

" Pretty entertaining for a vampire book. The first half was amazing. The rest was well done. Entertaining. Good book to read in between heavy reads. "

" Bastante comercial, easy reading. Not glamorous hollywood vampires. Prety nasty ones. Yeah! Can't wait to have the next chapter od the thrilogy. "

" Good stuff, nice idea, modern vampire stuff "

" I loved the beginning of this book, it was beautiful. But the rest of it was just very good. I can't wait to read the next one though. "

" A great build up of tension, and a very spooky read. Looking forward to reading the sequels. "

" Not my genre, but interesting story line and readable "

" Brilliant - page turning excitement! "

" Wow! I wasn't sure what I was going to think about this but it was great! Couldn't put it down and can't wait to read the rest of the story. An interesting take on the vampire mythos and all around well written story. Kudos del Toro and Hogan. "

" A little violent and bloody but I'm started on Book #2 already! "

" Neat take on vampires but reads more like a movie script. "

" This book started off strong but then tapered off into the realm of ho-hum. I was planning on reading no more of the books in this trilogy...just to find I've already purchased the second volume. I guess I'll take a second shot at it. "

" just when I was vampired out...it was definitely a page turner, a few slow interludes but they gave needed history. there are two more books in this series and I don't know if it can finish as strong as it started but I will definitely be jumping into the next one ASAP. "

" The perfect mix of horror, historical fiction, and science fiction. Terrifying because of its plausibility. "

" A little slow to get started, but definitely picks up the pace. I got a little confused by all the new characters, but that's probably just me. So far, this trilogy is a great new take on the vampire tale. Loving it! Now....to wait for part 3. "

" tedious disappointment of a sequel to The Strain. How could part two of such an inventive and gripping novel be such a let-down? "

" First one was a little better than the second and I really don't see where they are going to go with the third. I think their incarnation of the vampire is a little weak and you can tell the whole thing was written with the intent on becoming a movie. Entertaining but not at the top of my list. "

" Even darker and more brutal then the first book in the series. Very fast read - looking forward to the finish "

" I tried to finish it, but I just couldn't. It wasn't interesting, and fell far short of even the first. "

" This was a great continuation in The Strain story. So exciting and scary - I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading the #3! "

" Fast paced and scary, with an ending that ensures interest remains high for the final book of the trilogy. "

" Not as good as the first installment, but a great way to tie up loose ends and set things up for part 3. "

" I liked the first book and was eager to read this one. The action was non-stop on the first, but in this, the action was all crammed in the last 1/3 of the book. "
