2.0 out of 5 stars Little Shop of Horrors Meets Charlie Brown's Christmas, December 30, 2007
This review is from: Spider World: The Delta (Hardcover)
I just can't share the other reviewers' enthusiasm for this, the second volume of Colin Wilson's four volume Spider World trilogy (yes, that's what I said). There are hardly spiders in it at all--a bit at the beginning, and a bit at the end. In between, it is a story of our hearty band of adventurers going forth into a bizarre wilderness of evolution run riot, to face down a monster killer plant from outer space, only to find out that like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree, all it needs is a little love. While the outward journey itself is rather interesting, the two climaxes are entirely anticlimactic. The book closes with our plucky hero facing down the Death Lord himself, only to be saved by the Deusest of Deus Ex Machinas. I was disappointed. But not nearly as disappointed as I am by the final book of the series. There is a world of much better storytelling out there.

This was an excellent continuation of the original book in the Spider World series. Very thought provoking but with a great storyline.
