Book Reviews of Hunter's Planet (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 2)
Book Review: Did I miss something??
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a little confused at the beginning of this novel about how she was back with humanity. It seemed as though I missed something. Later on it explains but it still seems as if this book came to early in the series. I liked it overall but it is not the best it could be. The whole android thing was cool but the ending was horrible. I suggest a read only to fans of the series cause if your not a fan you won't become one reading this book.Book Review: Stays with the story
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this book, but not as good as the first one in the series, I love how she was able to join the Predator tribe but dousn't fit in and she's better than everybody and there trying to kill her. other than the book's good action sequences this book just dousn't compare to the first one.Book Review: Were are the aliens
Summary: 3 Stars
I really enjoyed this book but it really could have been alot better if it had aliens in it. Okay it did, obviously it had to live up to its name sake but there were only about twenty pages worth of aliens. too much pred and human. MORE ALIENS. (ALIENS RULE)Book Review: An ok Sequal
Summary: 3 Stars
I read the first Aliens Vs Predator book and i thought that book was greaat and i expected the sequal to be better then the original. I was wrong. I think this book was ok not great. Aliens Vs Predator: Prey is a lot betterBook Review: Not as good as it could be.
Summary: 2 Stars
Aliens vs. Predator: Prey was a really unexpectedly good novel. Unfortunately, Hunter's Planet doesn't uphold those standards. The writing's not bad, nor is the plot especially horrible; the problem, as in Bischoff's other Aliens novel, is in the pacing and structure of the book.The book starts off fairly enough, with some cool Predator action, and then Machiko's flashbacks on her years with the predators. (The flashback is the only part of the book based on a comic, where as all the other books in this line are basically just adaptations of comics.) Then, before we get any more interesting action, we get over a hundred pages of Machiko and Til sleuthing around trying to figure out what's going on, with every once in a while a scene from a Predator's point of view.
Then, at the big battle scene in the end, it was basically summed up as follows:
The predators and the aliens slugged it out. Machiko stayed behind and marveled at how deadly they all were. It looked like the aliens were winning, but then the predators started winning.
The battle was from an outside perspective and therefore was pretty boring. The characters didn't really have anything going for them, and there were too many questions left unanswered -- who was that company Til was talking about that sent him, stuff like that.
Overall, this is a fairly uninteresting and boring novel that, while being part of the series, doesn't really have any impact on anything. While it is worth reading if you have the time and money, if you don't you're not really missing any good action, inventive characters, or innovative situations. A mediocre bit of sci-fi.
