Below Zero
von Dan Smith

Bewertet mit 4 Sternen

It started as some kind of technological, almost sci-fi, thriller, but then made a big turn into something different, and more.

Ever since I read the author's book 'Dry Season' - which came as a double surprise - I won a copy (my first giveaway!), and it was a really fantastic story - I am fan of this author.

Below Zero caught my interest because of two things: the arctic environment and the mention of 'spiderlike creatures' in the summary. As expected, the story did not fail to entertain me. It started as some kind of technological, almost sci-fi, thriller, but then made a big turn into something different, and more. I loved that the author added an almost philosophical dimension to the 'spiderlike creatures' which added even more depth and allure to the adventure Zak finds himself in. Turns out the obvious monsters are not always the bad guys, as I experienced with more than one book already.

Though it shows at times that this book is aimed at a teenage audience, it does not hold back very much, and I enjoyed reading it immensely.
