really liked it

I really, really liked this book. I wanted to give it five stars, but I just didn't think that would be fair, for reasons I'll explain.

The easiest way to describe this book is to think of THE MIST by Stephen King, except on water. That being said, it's not like this is a rip-off or derivative of that work. The basic plot is a ship sails into a thick mist in the Bermuda Triangle, and ends up in a monster infested alternate dimension. This new dimension is FILLED with dangerous creatures. I'm a huge fan of monster novels and movies, so as I said, this one was right up my alley.

Now, the reasons this one didn't get five stars. First off, it was a bit repetitive, especially the dialogue. One character basically made gay jokes and silly insults the entire book, which got old quick. Also, as much as I love the monsters, even the monster attacks seemed overdone at times. With some editing this book would have easily been five stars.

Overall, I highly recommend this one as I feel the positives far outweigh the negatives. If you are into monster novels, especially on the high seas, read this one immediately!
