A review by nexadon
The Terror by Dan Simmons

challenging dark funny sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I hope Dan Simmons never writes about indigenous people again, because he failed at every turn with their inclusion in this book. Disregarding that (if you can) The Terror is wonderfully gritty and foul, a great read for people who love it when men shit themselves to death.
