"One of those records that caught me at the right minute. As you know, I was a huge fan of Spiders-era Bowie. I was distraught when they split, but I followed Ronson's solo career. He was a little bit more mainstream; these were stunning songs. Very French, somehow - it had that 'I'm wondering around down the docks in Amsterdam' kind of vibe! It also has the second greatest guitar solo of all time on 'Women' and in between you have these fantastic ballads like 'The Empty Bed', a stunning song. His lead playing on that record is just incredible."

Some people find spiders horrifying, others don't have much problem with them. I belong to the former group, and as such, found much in this book to creep me out. The story follows a large and diverse cast of characters located around the world, as a series of bizarre incidences involving spiders begins to point towards a larger disaster looming around the corner. With the cast featuring everyone from doomsday preppers to an FBI agent to an arachnologist to the President of the United States, it's practically a who's who of monster and disaster movie cliches. But thanks to the brisk pace and effectively gross manner of death, this combination of "Arachnophobia", "Alien" and pretty much any Roland Emmerich blockbuster winds up being very hard to put down. There are a few flaws, like some forced-feeling romance elements, and far too many of the characters being described as very attractive. The complete lack of any resolution presented by the ending is a bit of a disappointment as well, though I am left definitely interested in the next book. I don't know how much the type of person who would happily let a tarantula crawl up their arm will get out of this, but for everyone else, you will likely find yourself checking the corners of your walls for a couple days after finishing.
