Hodnocení knihy

Více o knize

"Dan Simmons writes with the salty grace and precision of Patrick O'Brian. But in piling supernatural nightmare upon historical nightmare, layering mystery upon mystery, he has produced a turbocharged vision of popular doom." -Men's Journal Greeted with excited critical praise, this extraordinary novel-inspired by the true story of two ice ships that disappeared in the Arctic Circle during an 1845 expedition-swells with the heart-stopping suspense and heroic adventure that have won Dan Simmons praise as "a writer who not only makes big promises but keeps them" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). THE TERROR chills readers to the core. "Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, THE TERROR is a masterfully chilling work." -Entertainment Weekly "In the hands of a lesser writer than Dan Simmons, THE TERROR might well have dissolved into a series of frigid days and three-dog nights. But Simmons is too good a writer to ignore the real gold in his story-its beleaguered cast." -Bookpage "Guaranteed to have readers pulling their covers up to their noses, THE TERROR will make for a blood-freezing, bedtime read this winter-and any season thereafter." -Pages

Hororové prvky mě bavily, ale knihu jsem četla dlouho... velice dlouho... už jen kvůli tomu, že vypravěči byli muži (proti čemuž nic nemám), kteří ženy ve většině případů vnímali jako objekty, a to i v případech, že to byly jen mladé dívky, které samozřejmě neměly k práci nic jiného, než svádět posádku (proti tomu už něco mám). Ano, ano, historická akurátnost, bla bla bla, muži si nesmí užívat společně, ale... číst tyhle "testosteronové" myšlenky mi, častěji než bych byla ráda, přišly vážně nechutné.
