4.0�toiles sur 5 Sting me Robert, Oct. 7 2002

Par	Keith Gouveia "gohan1140" (Florida) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: STINGER (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read several of McCammon's books and though I feel this one isn't as good as the others it is still extremely enjoyable. If I don't compare it to the others than it is fantastic and deserving of the 4 stars. It is an alien encounter like no other and originality is a must for me. We have seen so many aspects when it comes to alien invaders and Robert succeeds in adding something new.
It is very important to me as a writer to add something new to an old topic otherwise it is not worth doing and it is apparent that Robert feels the same way.
I also recommend Swan's Song and They Thirst.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Not his best, Avril 6 2004

Par	J. Birtles "charltonathletic" (Davis,CA. USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: STINGER (Mass Market Paperback)

There's no doubt that Mccammon is a great storyteller but after reading Swan Song (I'm reading his books in chronological order) this is certainly a let down. I think it's best to describe Stinger as a 'noble experiment' because it does deal with a subject that is certainly 'beyond' what he usually deals with. In simple terms, there's something just not quite right with this book, even though it is fun to read and the characters are certainly interesting. Infact, the main character is really the town (Inferno) itself. Let's face it, you KNOW that by the end of the book the alien bad guy will be, surprise surprise, defeated. And I think Mccammon knows this-he even admits to the formulaic nature of the genre, and therefore trys to put a slightly different spin on the 'alien invasion' story by playing up certain elements. This leads to my 'noble experiment' description. It's no secret that by this time in his career Mccammon was trying to move on to bigger and better things (e.g. Boys Life) and I think this was his springboard. Nevertheless, a good book and worth picking up.

5.0�toiles sur 5 What a blast!!!, Nov. 6 2002

Par	T. King (Brooklyn, N.Y. United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: STINGER (Mass Market Paperback)

STINGER is just a flat out fun book to read. To sum up the plot by calling it a good alien vs bad alien story doesn't begin to cover it. Sure it's been done before but never better. Thrilling chases and escapes make this "un-put-downable" as so many other books claim to be and so seldom are.

... I wish someone will buy the rights to this book and turn it into the thrilling blockbuster movie that it calls out to be.
