Review: A very fun book, with all the requisite elements of a great B-horror flick.

This was meant to be a fun book, and it was. There were some good lines, like "boundary-challenged" that made me smirk. I could well imagine this as movie on the SciFi channel with no problem; it would fit right in. The romance between Sam and Laura was believable, and their give and take was engaging and well written. There were exciting action scenes, such as the desperate run for the tank of Round Up, and a satisfying ending, almost setting up a platform for Creepers 2, which would be welcome. I've read a lot of SciFi "monster" books--from modified killer earthworms to bats to dogs, and everything in between, and this was one of the better ones.I didn't like how some characters died too soon and in a grisly way (death-by-eating-creeper), while others that were more deserving of spectacular and painful death were killed in a much less graphic manner.Overall opinion: A very fun book, with all the requisite elements of a great B-horror flick. If the Sci Fi channel doesn't make a movie of this at some point, I'm going to be upset. 3.5 stars.Note: A Free Review copy was provided by the author.
