The Night Eternal Guillermo del Toro Chuck Hogan Books

I think that people too often attempt to apply harsh literary standards to fiction and what is essentially supposed to be simple entertainment and that often leads to bad reviews. If you are used to reading Moby Dick and the Scarlet Letter, then books like this might be tripe to you. However, I was thoroughly entertained and I really enjoyed the story! What I liked best was the intro. This book had one of the most intriguing, engrossing, and scary intros I have read in a very long time!

The only problem I had with this book was 1) the pacing...it seemed to bog down at times and lose its momentum...and 2) I had seen the concept before (Blade II). That being said, I've already purchased book 2 and will be finishing the story with book 3!!

The Night Eternal Guillermo del Toro Chuck Hogan Books Reviews

Coming to the end of any good story, especially when it really draws you in always is a bummer no matter how good. There have been few stories that I have read in my life that left me feeling absolutely satisfied.
Now I really did enjoy the ending of the book, I am very glad that this was a trilogy and not something longer. I was speaking with a few friends whom had read the trilogy recently and they felt that it should have been a series, and gone much more into depth as to what else was going on in the world. But I greatly disagree. In many ways, I would classify this story as fantasy horror, of course not the high fantasy of the might and magic style, but it certainly follows a similar strain (pun intended) of following chosen heroes, as they fight against all odds to defeat the all-powerful antagonist. Yeah there is much more going on in the grand scheme of things, but these heroes are who we follow.
It hard to comment to deeply on the story without giving something away, but I can say that I really enjoyed first off that the book had jumped ahead several years in time, so that what we get, is a book which is much much different in tone, mood and approach then the other two books. The writing is great, you get a nice sense of this gothic bleakness which the world has become, as the writing depicts the darkened and sick sky, and the desolation of the city and earth left behind. It has a similar feel to watching a well-made film about WW2, which I think was intentional on the authors parts, and rightly so!
At the end of the day, I really really enjoyed this trilogy. I can see myself in a year or more, picking them up again and having another read! But I have to admit, I feel satisfied, but almost like watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They are damn good, and you love them all, but when the credits finally role on the last film, there is a part of you that is glad it is finally over! lol.
I would highly recommend this trilogy, and I would suggest that you read them before you watch the TV series, if you are wondering why I say this, read my review of the first and second book. I explain it there.
Was an exciting and fun Ride! Thanks Del Toro and Hogan, you fellows did some good story telling!
I bought the 1st two books and loved them. A lot of the things that go on in the TV show are there but, some are different. So, when I purchased the 3rd installment of The Strain, I immediately started reading on my . I just couldn't put it down! I had to stop and charge my right in the midst of so much tension and excitement. I actually read it in 3 days. That's how good it is! I don't want to reveal some of the plot line but, I am amazed about how the Ancients and the Master were created!! I love these three books and if there are any more books by this author, I will buy them immediately! Buy it! Don't listen to some of these bad reviews. If you want to read a book that keeps you intensely interested, this is IT!
NON-Spoiler
I felt the first two books were great. The events carried me through and I almost read the series in one sitting. I felt the same way about book 3, until I got to the ending. I felt that, by the time I got to the ending, there were so many holes that I was left wanting. Sure, the story ended, but the plot at the end was riddled with questions. I actually felt that I should have not read book three and just waited for the third season for some closure.

SPOILER
What I feel killed book three for me was when after the nuclear bomb detonated. Michael (the murdered one) shows up with the other angel and takes the combined form of the Master (Ozryel) and resurrects him. Ozryel, along with the other ancients, were responsible for the woes experienced by the human race. Heck, the Master was responsible for innumerable deaths and suffering of human beings. And then what?? They fly back up to heaven. That's it.

The Epilogue was nice, but it couldn't fill the whole I felt after reading that the angel was let back into heaven. Made no sense to me. If I would have known about that kind of ending I would have stopped at book 2. Next time I'll check the reviews.
I read this series long before they made a TV show about it, in fact, I still haven't actually seen the show (but I'd like to!).

I really enjoyed the first two books, but the third book fell short for me. Fet and Gus were the only two people that I cared about at that point because the rest of the characters, whether it was through their attitudes or their storyline, became boring and unlikeable. I did finish the book, but I found myself wishing that it was shorter or that I was closer to the end, it wasn't holding my attention like the first two in the series.

Speaking of the ending, I won't give it away but it was very predictable.

If you enjoy the show (hopefully it's fairly similar to the books!), then please give the book series a try! I know the third book may fall a little short in quality but as a whole the series is very interesting and well researched. The first two books build an amazing world inside your head and you'll want to find out what happens next, just be warned that the third book may disappoint slightly.
I think that people too often attempt to apply harsh literary standards to fiction and what is essentially supposed to be simple entertainment and that often leads to bad reviews.
