My Review
The
Teeth of Giants is an intriguing revenge story that showcases the
lengths one man will go to to take down the evil people who not only
killed his friend, but are also involved in illegal ivory trades.
This book is brutal, slightly nauseating, and intense. It also felt a little bogged down at times, especially in the second half of the story. Maybe it was just me, though. I thoroughly enjoyed the action and craziness of the first half of the book, but it did slow down some in the last half, and I found myself wanting more action and less of everything else going on. I did like the ending, though.
The Teeth of Giants starts off with a pretty gross scene (trust me, it's nauseating even to someone with a strong stomach), and then it launches into the main story. And, boy, it's a doozy. What happens throughout the first 50% or so of the book is insane at times. Violent, bloody, and just good, fun revenge (yes, I'm a sucker for a good bit of karma raining down on people who deserve it).
But, like I mentioned above, the last 50% or so is a little less intense. A little slower paced. It doesn't have as much action, but there's still the need for revenge, which I liked.
I don't want to spoil anything, though, so I'll leave it at that.
The characters are well-developed, and you definitely feel like you're right there in Africa with Jason as you're reading. That's a definite plus for me.
Overall, I thought The Teeth of Giants was a fascinating book with great characters and a thrilling plot (even when it was slow at times) that kept me on my toes.
I'm rating it 3.5 stars.
