4.0 out of 5 stars Freaky, yet wanting, January 4, 1999

This review is from: Goblins/Whirlwind (Paperback)

I just finished "Goblins."

I won't give away anything, but I was dissapointed in Scully's characterization. Bleah. Talk about a bubbleheaded bimbo who's always fussing with her hair?! When does Scully giggle, fuss with her hair and nag Mulder all the time?

The story properly freaked me out, however, and made me wish I hadn't read it right before bed!

Am omnibus of the first couple of X-Files books, Goblins and Whirlwind.

Goblins

First tie-in seen.

When a tv show gets really popular, particularly of this sort, there are bound to be books to follow.

In this case, it wasn't a particularly good one, unfortunately.

Mulder and Scully and some hangers around have to investigate what appear to be attacks by an invisible man. So, bit of a strange title to start with. Just an ordinary, story, really.

Whirlwind

Second of the same.

The next X-Files tie-in is basically the same as the first, in terms of quality, that is, not very good.

Also another strange series of killing to investigate for the FBI duo, only with some boring even for Mulder odd occurrences along the way. These were definitely disappointing.

I'm a big fan of the x-files but I have to say that this book was a big flop! The story seemed to drag and drag and drag. I wouldn't recommend this book.
