review 1: Horribly funny mid-70's shocker with all the ingredients; mutated creatures (perhaps due to nuclear testing!) on the rampage, gore, sex, odd dialog and inexplicable actions by the characters.While in no way great literature, there is no surprise whatsoever that the book and author has a real cult following.And for me there's really no pity that no-one made this into a microbudget b-horror in the 80's; I've seen it scene-by-scene in my head already! Recommended to all that know what to expect and are fine with that.
review 2: Bloodthirsty crabs arise from the depths of the sea to feast on human flesh.Ignore the naysayers who denigrate this book as trash. If Herman Melville had decided to write about crabs instead of a whale, this is undoubtedly the book he would... more have produced. Author Guy N. Smith is to be commended rather than scorned. He catches a lot a flack on this site for writing awkward sex scenes, but I think his characters should be applauded for being able to have any kind of sex when there are monster crustaceans around. And any novelist who can write about his protagonists making love while on the lookout for crabs without a hint of irony is clearly operating on a different level than the rest of us.Bravo! less
