I would not recommend this at all. Very long and predictable. Not in the least scary. Rubbish.

3.0 out of 5 stars A big eagle is meant to be a frightening monster! 24 Jun 2004
By bond007 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've read all of the Millennium Quartet novels by Grant and enjoyed them all except the last one Riders in the Sky. Grant is an exceptional author and one of the best in horror. I picked up The Nestling in a used book store and thought I'd read it since Grant is such a good storyteller. The book centers around a small Wyoming town with an Indian legend behind it. There is a huge eagle that is supposed to be a scary monster in this book, but it doesn't live up to that. Grant hardly describes it at all, just saying that it has red eyes and feathers. He describes its presence very well but not its appearance. Winged serpent comes up in the book frequently so you think it might be part reptilian but its not at all, just a big bird. It takes about 120-150 pages into the book just for it to get exciting and whenever it does its short-lived. He dwells too much on far too many characters to really get you hooked in the first 100 pages or so. Once past that the book picks up fairly well and becomes somewhat of a page turner. The ending was chilling and made the book a little spooky. This probably would be a fun book to read while camping and might even scare a few people. Try reading another book by Grant thats not as slow as this one. I'm sure this book is one of his very few sub-par efforts.

3.0 out of 5 stars More great prose, less great story. 1 Jun 2005
By Howard Z. Simms - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Having become a Grant fan after For Fear of the Night, this book both delivers and comes up short. Again, I'm amazed at Grant's ability to craft words...he's terrific at it. I suspect that he could make a recipe for boiled brussel sprouts read well. However, this story is so-so at best. Giant eagles and indian curses aside, it takes way too long to get going and when it finally does, you sort of wonder why you're going that way after all. Still, it's better than the brussel sprout thing.
