I really enjoyed this book!  Is it far fetched and a bit hokey? - yeah! It's fiction though so that's ok!  It's about a creeper vine that eats people so I didn't expect less!  I thought it was a fun and suspenseful read and when one really thinks about it, how far off from reality could it be?  Scientists are constantly experimenting with plants, looking for ways on improving on what God already created.  Genetically engineering plants is nothing new. A scientist wants to 'doctor up' a vine so that it will grow in dry climates.  He thinks he's helping people - but of course his experiment gets out of hand, just a little. lol  If this were a movie it would be the kind of movie that I'd love to see with my daughter (who is 26) and we'd poke fun at it the whole time.  We'd have a lot of laughs and enjoy ourselves thoroughly, and no doubt would jump with fright several times throughout the movie.  If you are looking for a serious horror novel this isn't it.  If you are looking for a creepy book about a creeper vine that takes over a town and a fun bunch of characters that try to kill it before it takes over the town and then (oh horror of horrors - the world!!!) then this is the book for you!  I loved most of the characters, the ones I didn't like, get eaten, so that's ok.  :)  I would definitely read more by this author!!
