The Hatching by Ezekiel Boone

3.0

I would really give this 3.5 stars. It was like watching a SYFY network b-rated monster movie. It was a fast read with the ends of chapters making you need to know what was going to happen next. The cringe factor was real for the entomophobic in me, and I almost had to give up at chapter 13, but I had to see where it was going. Okay, so a few issues . . . There are a ton of characters and locations, some definitely more fleshed out than others. Of those who were ill-fated, I didn’t really feel any sort of attachment to them. All I kept thinking was, “please, don’t let the dog die!” I know it is a trilogy, so I am not surprised that this book didn’t really go anywhere, and as much as it gave me the heebie jeebies, there was enough space between well defined attacks to permit me to go on with the series and see where they are taking it. I wouldn’t be surprised or upset if while channel surfing some day at 2:00 a.m., I come across the made for tv production of this series. I would, however, have to watch it with the lights on, back scratcher in hand.
