The Terror

Mainly read this in order to watch the AMC show, but boy did I not expect it to be this much of a slog. Sure it's a big read heavily steeped into the historical drama of the real story, but it is not a page-turner at all. It never really picks up, instead just hoping that you form some kind of bond to one or more of the characters as it unfolds it's icy tale, but as with most slowburns, the tension and violence do increase the further you get. I strongly believe this is a story that will be experienced far better visually.
