Stephen reviewed The Terror by Dan Simmons
Review of 'The Terror' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I think I liked this book. I'm not sure. But I don't know that I'd recommend it to anybody. The writing is engaging, the book is well-researched based on the theories of Terror and Erebus at the time he was writing. But it's so long! And so miserable! And does the protagonist have to fuck the only woman he meets?
I mean, based on the tale of a famous lost mission, it's not surprising it is grim, dark, and miserable. So if you want that in a book, then 4 stars. Because it's still too long.
