Rendition Toward Books The Descent (The Descent #1)

We are not alone … In a cave in the Himalayas, a guide discovers a self-mutilated body with the warning "Satan exists". In the Kalahari Desert, a nun unearths evidence of a proto-human species and a deity called Older-than-Old. In Bosnia, something has been feeding upon the dead in a mass grave.

Judge Regarding Books The Descent (The Descent #1)

[5/10]I was looking forward to my first Jeff Long book, but it was largely a disappointment. To be honest, I would probably have rated The Descent a five star, had i only read it when I was 14 and eager for over the top adventures with scariest monsters and extensive bloodshed. This is the kind of modern high-octane thriller that I was craving for after growing a bit too old for the classic tales of Jules Verne or Alexandre Dumas. Alas, I can no longer ignore the poorly drawn characters, the

I really enjoyed this is was a face paced twisty thriller that borrowed heavily from classics such as HG Wells The Time Machine and the rules of the Hollywood summer blockbuster genre. The rules of Hollywood being, make it gory, keep it fast paced and keep them guessing; oh and the boy always gets the girl no matter how mismatched they are. It was, however, some of the "Holywood style action thriller elements that I didn't enjoy. Making sexual violence to women a sensationalised element of the



I don't think the author knew exactly what he wanted to write with this book. The first part was mostly a horror novel, and then it spent the second half bogged down in a philosophical search of the Christian mythos mixed with an adventure story. I liked the first half - the part with scary humanoid things under the earth that would steal and/or kill people. The bit with the helicopter was especially well done. The second half of the book was very slow, disjointed and it really lost my interest

I'm not wholehearted about that 5 star rating, because there are some things I didn't love about this book.However, for sheer CREEPINESS I have to give it 5 stars. This book scared the beejesus outta me, which is no easy task these days.

Very, very creepy. I will never, ever go on a cave exploration.

One great read from start to finish. This book plunges you into the what if's and challenges your mind to really think if such a thing is possible. I couldn't put this book down I was so deep into the realm of below. One great story and book!
