Hang on now, wait…these Malignocites were devouring people, right? And now they’re, um, eating brainwaves and controlling people?! As this book unceremoniously hurtled us to an ending, it seemed like the very nature of the story completely changed. And I’ve already commented on my feelings about sections with no choices at the end, but this was the worst. It shoved us into a narrative that didn’t follow from what had preceded it, and dumped us at an ending,
I agree with the comments that this started out pretty engaging, but, in this visit at least, went off the rails at the end.
Still think this is a fun activity, though, so I’ll go pull Alien Arena off the shelf in anticipation.
