4.0 out of 5 stars White Fuzzying Fun, 12 Jun 2006

By	Mr. Marshall J. Dean (Orkney) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading and enjoying 'The Rising' and 'The City of the Dead' you would think I expected another good read here, but to be honest I was apprehensive. I wanted to see whether he could create a good story from something new, something fresh, which 'The Conqueror Worms' idea was. I wasn't disappointed. You are thrown straight into the thick of the story - well at the end of it - and Teddy (the 80 year old main character) goes on to explain how he arrived in the predicament that he is in.

Teddy relates the two separate stories he dictates to us to the way the Writer and Brother stories are depicted in 'The War of the Worlds', a book I love. Once again Keene has created a world of devastation and death, with creatures of a biblical proportion. He gives us characters, enables us to get to know them, even love them in cases, and then wrenches them from us in gruesome ways.

I thought this book was extremely good. But, I did think it took some time to get going early on. Overall, a worthy read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, 5 Jun 2007

By	Mr Loh "Olio" (UK) - See all my reviews

This book starts out quite slow, (with the main character being an 80 year old man theres not too much action to start with) but is still worth a read. Where the book changes perspective, it becomes very engrossing and much more interesting. Its a shame about the title and the cover, because it doesn't do the book justice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Erratic but enjoyable, 20 Jan 2008

By	B. D. Wilson (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having loved "The Rising" and "City of the Dead", I had high hopes for Brian Keene's next apocalyptic thriller, "The Conqueror Worms". Alas, it never matched up to those other two books, and showed more flaws, but it's fun in its way.

My main problem was that this book simply failed to grip me as well as Keene's zombie novels did. The book is divided into three sections. The first takes a while to really hit anything like top gear, but once it does the novel suddenly cuts away to its second section, which is a flashback devoted to the stories of some characters who were introduced at the end of the first part. I never really got into or cared about this section, at least until the last chapter, and so this whole section of the book really sailed by without exciting me at all. The third section, after we cut back to the present day and situation, was very good, though.

There were also a couple of plot strands which seemed pointless and were never resolved, such as a white fungus that supposedly eats you alive, but we never see this happening and there never seems to be a point to it. All in all, it felt like Keene could have done more with this story than he ultimately did.

Even so, this book is at times entertaining in its campy, B-movie sort of way. But the book also shows how hard Keene will have to work to match or exceed the breathtaking apocalyptic vision of The Rising and City of the Dead.
