Book Reviews of Hunter's Planet (Aliens Vs. Predator, Book 2)
Book Review: An ok sequel.
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought that the book was ok, but I felt the story could have been a lot better.Book Review: Bad sequel, really boring, almost zero action
Summary: 1 Stars
Hi,
Of course I got the book after reading prey in his two versions (comic and book) I was waiting for a lot of interaction (battle) between aliens, predators and some humans. I guess everything started to go wrong when the aliens where modified to see and use weapons by the all mighty humans (yeah! sure...tongue on cheek)
Then comes the frustration from Machiko after living and hunting with the predators and all her flashbacks, the also allmighty swiss army android in servant disguise and the "climax" in which basically the predators use the "blast'em all" strategy (under machiko's command) instead of something more worthy of the "yautja" testing themselves against a much more dangerous alien variant.
I don't think is a good strategy as a writter to create a more powerful enemy if you'll kill him using just brute force right? Otherwise, Superman would have smashed Luthor a long time ago...
Predators as far as I remember have a lot of tech to use, but they also have brains and just plain brute force is not their first and only option, in fact, under "their code" that wouldn't be honorable at all...
I didn't like the book at all...
Book Review: Why oh why?
Summary: 1 Stars
After an exciting trilogy of Alien novels and the first AVP novel, what the hell were the publishers thinking when the took Steve Perry off of the second Aliens Vs Predator novel?!? After bungling Aliens: Genocide, Bischoff seems like a bad choice, and is. His story is ultra slow, the characters dull and uninteresting, and their is next to no Alien action. Fifty Predheads against twenty cyberaliens, and just winning? Come on. Bring back Perry ... Please!!!!Book Review: The sequel to Prey was not what I had hoped for.
Summary: 1 Stars
Perry did a great job with Prey. He captured the effect of the characters that would please both fans of the movies Aliens and Predator. This sequel, however, did not cut it. Though the plot line was there it was quite boring and did not have a promising story line. This guy should go back to his trek books because he ain't doing any good here.Book Review: Don't waste your time.
Summary: 1 Stars
Having read AVP-Prey I was looking forward to learning more about the Predators society and customs in this novel. What I got was a weak plot, weak characters, and no useful information. I got so disgusted at times I wanted to throw the book in the trash. I would have had I had something else to read.
