It explores different societies and their responses to the disaster, which is such a great change to the normal offerings in the genre. I read it a year or so ago and have been trying to push it ever since: I am hoping that my review will do that! :)Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-81618397628495818042012-08-30T16:19:18.629-04:002012-08-30T16:19:18.629-04:00You know me: I am always happy to find a good Read...You know me: I am always happy to find a good Read Along to join! :)<br /><br /><br />I am also a fan of del Toro and I found The Strain very cinematic in the way it was written. In that way it is similar to WWZ, which is more like a series of vignettes than a cohesive narrative.Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-62284923089106414612012-08-30T13:55:37.534-04:002012-08-30T13:55:37.534-04:00I'm leaning toward doing both of the readalong...I'm leaning toward doing both of the readalongs as well, although I'm still a bit undecided on the first one because of scheduling.<br /><br />I'm curious to see what you think of Max Brooks. If he has his father's sense of humor then I'd definitely like to try his books.Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3936635192759786622.post-720269847776465372012-08-30T06:07:46.250-04:002012-08-30T06:07:46.250-04:00I'm so glad you are joining us for your first ...I'm so glad you are joining us for your first RIP event! And even more happy you are joining us for the group reads. I've been looking forward to reading The Little Stranger and I've been wanting to re-read The Graveyard Book for awhile now but was holding out for RIP.<br /><br />I read The Strain a few years back and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I don't normally go in for contemporary reads like this but I am a del Toro fan and he did not disappoint.Looks-Mostly-Harmlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918651503213054373noreply@blogger.com
