4.0�toiles sur 5 Forget "Predator 2" -- this book makes a better sequel!, Oct. 16 2003

Par	Lynn E. Major (Hemet, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I was sorely disappointed by the movie "Predator 2," being a huge fan of the original movie, but reading Predator: Concrete Jungle soothed me over. This book reads like it could be a legitimate movie, as does the even BETTER sequel; "Cold War." For some, the thought of trying to envision someone other than Dutch is too much to ask. I know Danny Glover didn't exactly do it for me in Predator 2. But this time around, the story falls on his brother's shoulders, and I loved how they made mention of Dutch from the first movie and his mysterious aftermath since surviving the Predator. Very believable. I cheated and imagined Dutch's brother looking like a twin of Arnold Schwarzegger in both books, but if you ask me, it all seemed to be the reasonably smart choice in getting the best read out of Concrete Jungle. Great book!

4.0�toiles sur 5 Nonpretentious Brain Candy,, Ao� 19 2003

Par	Harkius "harkius" (Laramie, WY) - Voir tous mes commentaires

And all the better for it!

The book stars a couple of cops in the narcotics division of the NYPD and their fight with a group of Predators. There are not a lot of surprises or twists in the plot, but it is no less fun as a result of those absences. It is a fun read, and it is short enough for a plane trip, a couple hours on the beach, or just a short evening on the couch in front of the fireplace and radio.

In short, if you like Predator (not the second movie, it [was bad]), and you wanted a bit more action, pick this up. You won't be disappointed. If you are looking for something that requires a little bit of thought, keep looking you haven't found it yet. But, like I said, great for a two-hour brain-break. Enjoy!

4.0�toiles sur 5 Better then the Comic Book, Juil 28 2002

Par	Inspector Gadget "Go Go Gadget Reviews" (On the trail of Doctor Claw) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Obviously the book goes into way more detail and description than the graphic novel. Nathan Archer even goes as far as adding some scenes that give Schaefer's partner Rasche a bit more character and few more things to do.

The plot is what Predator 2 was originally supposed to be. Arnie's character was supposed to be helping the NYPD with a drugs war in an unbelievably hot summer. But when Arnie couldn't schedual in between Total Recall and Terminator 2 the role was re-written for Danny Glover. So the story here is pretty much as much a decent continuation of the first movie as the film sequel is. But with one big difference...

The role of Dutch Schaefer is changed to Detective Schaefer, Dutch's brother. He's just as big, bad and burly. And guess what...he goes by his own rules. If there was ever a REAL inspiration for 'McBain' from The Simpsons...it's probably Detective Schaefer. While reading the book I couldn't help but think of a Rainer Wolfcastle-type hero.

I've never read many action-based novels and I never knew how they'd work. But Predator: Concrete Jungle does manage to be exciting and is a real page turner. It's a pretty thick book but I managed to finish it in about 3 days. I know this isn't particulary fast but I'm not the kind of guy who can spend all day reading.

Not unless what I am reading is interesting or has a reason keep me reading to the end. And this book is definitely all that. The follow-up, Predator-Cold War, is even better. But I do recommend that if you like the Predator movies and comic books that you check out the novels. There are quite few of them and they are well worth it.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Well.... it's a Predator tie in book....
This was a pretty fun book I guess. However it wasn't what I expected it to be though, The book basicly just replaces Dutch with a personalityless brother who just happens to be... Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 An action-packed story that true Pred fans will love!
This book is a novelazation of the original Dark Horse comic. It is far more descriptive and offers more background. Can be considered the prequel to Predator 2. Read more
