How do you fight a giant lasagna made of living (and dead) flesh with charred human body parts like ground beef sprinkled on top who has absorbed your girlfriend into its ball of writhing skin, organs and limbs that is rapidly sucking the city of Tuscan into its fold of pulsating tissue? You recruit a couple of former reality TV stars and a veterinarian and put together a plan.I picked up the audio book for this one some time ago and finally decided to give it a go. I am glad that I did. The aud...
Far from his best work but my God what a book.An apocalyptic book of one bad thing being piled on top of another. There is heroism, there is comedy, there is a lot of messed up stuff. There's a lot more focus on the messed up stuff than some of his other books. It's definitely not in the same line as some of his others but if you need something to read in between other books it's definitely something to read.
Fast paced and chocked full of action, The Grinding is an amazing blend of the blob, the madness of modern life, rollerderby, and military conspiracies. The cinematic quality of the narrative and the note at the end that this book was the author’s way of saying goodbye to Tucson to move to Seattle, makes me think this would work well as a film, ideally scored by The Supersuckers.
I first off want to get to the point that this book was everything that I expected and more. I love a good scary story whether it is in a book or movie. All of the descriptions were so vivid that I felt like I was there in the middle of the action. There was no person that was forgotten by the Grinder’s wrath. I was a little shocked that it included babies and little children in it’s destruction, but that made it all the more realistic to how it would be if something of this magnitude came to be...
This is a great book. Well-written, and with a truly unique monster. In this day-and-age, that is hard to do.Very well thought out and easy to read.
I really, really liked this story. This needs to be a movie. For fans of THE THING, THE BLOB and that film SPLINTER. It's crazy good. If not a film, then Netflix needs to snatch up the rights for a limited series.
Empathy horror tragedy done wellA lot of books have horrible things happening to people. Rarely does the author really attempt to humanize the victims to the point where they're more than just a background stain of blood for the protagonist. This guy makes a world full of real people with lives and drives and then takes them apart again. He makes it very clear the body count isn't a score in a video game but a real personal tragedy for everyone involvedI've noticed a theme of 'Christianity gone
I loved another of this author's series, so I thought I'd give some more books by him a shot. I absolutely hated this. I liked Zero of the characters. I actively hated many of them and rooted against them. I hated the ending. There is nothing about this book that was redeemable.Everyone wants that partner who will sacrifice everything for them, but we have lines. And this was one of them. This isn't a hero or anti-hero or sympathetic villain story. I want them to rot. Ugh. Sticking to just the d...
We together like two peas in a pod.When I first met you, I'm sure you thought I was odd.We worked 'round each other, each and every day.We'd fight and argue, till it became just play.From there we shared our sorrows,and tried to tame our fears.Some things you can't recover from. I feel your tears.One day some shit happens.It was utterly surreal.I couldn't be there for you.I thought that you were killed.Then, my phone rings,and I put it to my ear.It's you...You're alive.My heart beats anew."Don't...
Body Horror + Kaiju + The Book of Revelations with a dash of a dysfunctional love story. Who doesn't like that?I bought this on Kindle in late 2015 and it sat in my virtual TBR pile with over a thousand other books for close to 5 years. Frankly, I don't know why. Maybe I was distracted by another release or perhaps my "real life" intruded. It happens. Anyone who is an avid reader has been there. Regardless, I was scrolling through my Kindle library at 1am a couple of nights ago for something to
I'd like to thank Promotional Book Tours and the author for giving me a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.This was one scary as heck book, and I usually shy away from horror. The point of view that it was written from made it even more realistic, coming from a first hand experience, and written so well. It was extremely descriptive, and the author brought the one thing into it that I absolutely abhor to see in horror stories...babies, toddlers....no one was exempt from the Grinde...
This was a First Book Giveaway.This is a well written and descriptive book. It is not a book I would normally pick up to read but I am glad I won it or I would have missed a very interesting book. It was a fast read, and you never figure our how it will end. I look forward to checking out the authors other books.
A Different Kind Of Horror NovelTake "The Thing" from "Who Goes There" cross breed it with "The Blob" and add in a touch of zombie infection and you have "The Grinder." Obviously, The Grinding is done by The Grinder -- except that that's not the whole truth of the matter and it all starts with a father rejecting his son.This is a horror novel that starts out like Bio-weapon Disaster story and slowly morphs into both a Romance and supernatural horror story. Even so, it may appeal to some fans of
A quite enjoyable read.If you aren't sure about giving this book a try, I would suggest that you do. It takes an interesting approach to religion and love.
I loved this book. I had no idea going in what it was about, but I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book. The characters were fleshed out with interesting back stories.
ABR's original The Grinding audiobook review and many others can be found at Audiobook Reviewer.The Grinding by Matt Dinniman is action packed, fast moving adventure that screams sci-fi and aliens. However, that would be a false assumption. Dinniman sets the story up for the reader to reach that conclusion early on so that when one reaches the truth behind The Grinder, one cannot help but sit there gape-mouthed and stunned. I was truly not expecting this huge, really huge twist!The main characte...
