The Terror is one of those books that you're either going to love or hate; there's no inbetween. I loved it. I started with mixed feelings because I had watched the TV adaptation (which I also loved ) and I wondered which I would love more....📖 vs. 📺 Turns out I love them equally.
The Terror is a wonderful mix of historical fact and supernatural fiction. It is also quite a lengthy tome, so if long books and nautical history aren't your thing, then perhaps this isn't the book for you. ⚓
I take my hat off to the author for his scene setting. I shivered my way through this book, as if I was stuck in the Arctic. ❄🌨
It's a tough read in places; the symptoms of scurvy, the attacks on the men, the living conditions, the betrayals; it's all harrowing, it's scary, and a lot of it is sadly true.
So there you have it; The Terror is a blend of fact and fiction that is nail biting, terrifying and sad. It raises your hopes, and just as quickly dashes them again.
