    Anyone read this? Almost finished it and can only think "Meh". Was expecting sooo much more from Guillermo. Can't say I heard of Chuck Hogan before this.

    Interested in hearing others thoughts given the rave reviews it seems to have received

    Saw this in Easons last week and was going to buy it only because it had Del Toro's name on it but I decided fugg it and bought Stephen Kings Under The Dome instead.

    If you're going to buy it get it in Chapters which is were I got my copy. €5.99 for the hardcover. I'd say it costs a fortune in Easons.

    EDIT: That was the reason I bought it. And from looking online it appears that GDT had very little input apart from writing the first couple of chapters or something.
