Average Rating: 
Rating: - Good story but not terribly original. But fun nonetheless.
I heard this book as a book on tape and I will talk about that aspect at the end.
If you saw any of Hollywood's animal disaster B movies (Giant ants, snakes, bugs, etc. that attack humanity) than you get the idea behind this book. Normally placid bats are attacking people and gathering in a murderous swarm above New York City. Meanwhile, something else - something very large - is killing people in the subway tunnels. Will the animal expert and the rough cop be able to save the day?

Rating:  - This is the best book I have ever read in my life!!!!!!!!!
This book is never boring, there is always something new happening when another ends, and it is not difficult to read at all. It is as if you become the characters in the book and everything that happens is so intense you can't help but continue to read. I am not a big reader and this book took me two days to read because it was so good I did not want to put it down. Trust me buy the book and you will not be sorry. The first chapter there is already two people who are murdered by these creatures and it done ... Read More
