Short Review
David Sodergren's The Forgotten Island won't win any literary prizes for skillfully drawn characters or plausible sequences of events, but it is a fast-paced yarn that pulls you along with mounting suspense. And, best of all, it takes you to a "lost" tropical island that's infested with scary-ass monsters. If you like good, old-fashioned monster stories, this will scratch that itch. It's just begging to be turned into a low-budget, creature feature by a budding young Sam Raimi or George Romero wannabe. If I were Joe Bob Briggs, I would have tallied up the dead bodies and bare breasts for you. I didn't, but -- trust me -- there are plenty.
