2.0 out of 5 stars Not the worst, by far not the best., December 26, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Watcher: Based on the Apocalypse (World of Darkness : Werewolf) (Mass Market Paperback)
The story's not bad, mediochre but ok; it's Charles Grant's writing style that's killing me. He uses the RA Salvatore 'one line paragraph' mechanic WAY too much. The over-use of this technique makes the reading jumpy and annoying to the eye. As well, the concept of the 'Watcher' organization, found in every SciFi series from Highlander to Buffy to VtM to now, my favorite world of storytelling, is getting a little old. There are thousands of stories out there for Werewolf: The Apocalypse, it's way too soon to be falling back on something that's quickly becoming cliche.

If you are interested in good WWtAp writing, check out the short story collections, When Will You Rage and, to a lesser extent, Drums Around the Fire. The only WWtAp novel that I feel falls into the inovative, entertaining, and well-worth-your-time catagories is the hard-hard-to-find, Breath Deeply. Do yourself a favor and track down a copy. It is original, is a multi-tribal and racial story, and there are wonderful scenes involving the Umbra and spirits that are rarely handled, much less handled well, in the written works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Andrew's Book Review, April 12, 2001
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Watcher: Based on the Apocalypse (World of Darkness : Werewolf) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the book Watcher. I thaught this book was really good. The description of the book was great. I recieved a vivid picture in my head of the actions and settings from this book.

There are many great parts in this book. It is really hard to choose just one good part. But if i did pick a best part it would be where the guy first turns into the werewolf. That part was really good.

Out of all the story elements the most vivid to me where the conflict and climax. The conflict was out stood because it's obvious, there's a werewolf trying to kill people and they need to kill it. The climax was really outstood because it was about a chapter long.
