Bugs. Honestly, I don't particularly care for them. They seem to like munching on me, even though I'm pretty sure I'm not the type who is made of sugar and spice. I also suffer from arachnophobia; I absolutely, positively despise spiders. Those hairy bodies, those spiny legs, those googly eyes. Spiders truly freak me out. So, I guess I should start by thanking Mr. Carter for not making the bug in his story a spider. On the other hand, he made the bu More...

With so many books and so little time, I rarely revisit titles I've already read. I made an exception for this one, though, because I first read it roughly two years ago and haven't really stopped thinking about it since then.

I bought this book new for $3 and did not know what really to expect. The story starts out mundane enough but begins to pick up as the plot begins to reveal itself. It was an easy read, a typical book to read in the summer on the back deck, but it had suspense and elements of fantasy and horror. I love a good horror and always suspend my sense of realism with these type of books, but I was disappointed by the ending.

I gotta put this down for now.
Maybe I'll come back to it later. Something just doesn't make me want to read about a giant mosquito eating a guy named Ashley. He should be eaten, his name is Ashley! not Asher, Ashley! WHY? WHY WOULD YOU NAME HIM THAT? Gosh!

A fast paced story. It reminded me of a Doctor Who adventure, I kept expecting the good Doctor to arrive and take charge of things at any minute.
