Probably the first utterly disappointing book I read. Also uniquely one where the adaptation is phenomenally better.
I didn't need to read all the weird indigenous fetishization... Notably lazy writing at several parts. Just, wow.
Give the show a try. It solved literally everything I hated about the novel.
This being said, I do think it's important to read and recognize how older white male horror authors love to make women of color into a mix between sex symbols and shamans. Richard Matheson definitely did it, for instance.
Some positives for The Terror? Honestly, no, not from me.
