Book Reviews of The Spiraling Worm: Man Versus the Cthulhu Mythos (Call of Cthulhu Fiction)
Book Review: Interesting ideas. Abysmally written.
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is full of interesting ideas for "Call of Cthulhu" and particularly "Delta Green" wonks. So if you only read for the thrill of speculation and are willing to overlook mediocre prose, asinine dialog, boring characters, and lousy fiction chops in general, then you will probably enjoy it. Personally I have a hard time with that. Every ridiculously implausible plot development, every line of dialogue that sounds like a Steven Segal movie, every time the writer chooses to explain rather than evoke the story--these all stick in my craw and make it hard to take any pleasure from the text. A 5-star book, in my opinion, is one that comes as close to achieving perfection as any human work is capable, and anyone who reads this book and thinks it couldn't have been done any better has a dim view of our species indeed. The huge gulf between the book I expected (based on the glowing reviews) and the book I received made this one of the most disappointing reading experiences of my life, and left me suspicious, honestly, that the reviews here on Amazon have been padded by those with a financial or other personal stake in this book
