Scarecrow (Possible Spoilers) - VGF

Parrakarry · 06-15-2004, 08:56 PM

Yes, this is the third book in the great Shane Schofield series. For those of you who haven't read it yet, here's a summary:

Ice Station: Kill people in Antarctica.
Area 7: Kill people in Nebraska.
Scarecrow: Kill people in Europe.

Okay, okay, there's more to it than that. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I thought Scarecrow was better than Area 7, but after reading through it again... well... it seemed like things in some places were a bit... RUSHED. For example, (spoilers) I don't think Knight should've saved Scarecrow when he was doing his whole suicide thing. It just would've been a better way to end the series... but nooo. Oh well, whatever.

Rushed? HAH. Reilly has always focused of fast-paced action!

Aaaah but Parr, there's no way he could have killed Scarecrow. He needs to build back into himself and be the star of more books. Besides, Knight was too awesome. He'd "failed" Scarecrow once with Gant, he wouldn't have done so again.

NO WAY!!! If Scarecrow had of died, I'd have had to send wet mail to Reilly!

I like how 'fast' the story moves coz I don't often read books with this much violence in them so the pace getting through the gore works for me.

I'm hoping Knight teams up with Scarecrow in the next book and between them save the world once again!

Nonononono, that's not what I meant. I meant that it seemed like REILLY had been rushed in writing some parts... If he had had a few extra months to review it and look over it, it would've probably been much better.

Of course, it WAS good.

I follow what ya mean. I don't really mind those parts as I tend to speed-read over other sections when I feel a story drags, so it evens out.

Reilly has a distinctive style that I find interesting. I honestly hope he doesn't kill off another major character... what a shock!!

BTW, in your summary... I would have liked to have seen "saves world whilst killing people" [img]tongue.gif[/img]
