A review by jamesbickers97
The Hollow Ones by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
2.0
This book started off with so much mystery and so much potential horror. But two very bland protagonists in the form of Odessa and Blackwood just really dragged this book down into the pits of boredom. Now I will say that I probably would have preferred Solomon to be the main character, as the chapters that divulged his backstory where probably my favourite chapters of the entire book.
To say I am disappointed would be an understatement, del Toro is one of my favourite directors however his vision just didn't translate for me this time. It reminded me more of his middle of the ground earlier work like Cronos, rather than his stellar work within films such as The Shape of Water
