Okay, this is the first part of what seems to be a five part creaturathon.PROS: I liked some of the characters (the wife of the jerk and her handyman 'friend' - unfortunately they have only small parts in this first book) and who doesn't enjoy it when drunken jocks and coeds meet blood-thirsty creatures. Plus the author has certainly invented some crazy ways for a creature to off a human.CONS: I didn't like most of the characters, I thought they were too stereotypical: the 'nice guy' wimp who isn't getting the girl, the beautiful 'smart' girl who is the object of his attention, the macho girl who gets things done, the jerk husband who treats his wife like shit while cheating on her with young codes, the drunken animal house rejects, oh and the creatures who want to eat them all. My BIGGEST peeve with this installment (and with many horror  novels and movies) is that the creatures are complete predators and kill people with a swipe of their claw but somehow they can never get their hands on the story protagonists. Its just too much, I was rooting for the creatures just to clean the character slate.Now if you like straight carnage + teenage emotions, you might like this. It was a little amusing in spots but sorry, I just didn't like it
