One of the worse I've tried to read---and I mean tried!

Horror stories have just become gory and stupid, the authors try to make them more gory than the last one, etc.

This book is 500 pages and after 125 pages it was just skip and skim the rest of the way and I skipped a lot, once I got the gist of the storyline I just got sick and tired of trying to read pages and pages of descriptions, the chapters are short but they go back and forth from the the present, to the past, to a 'report', over and over throughout the entire book, I found that stupid and tedious.

SPOILER---when it came to light that the 'horror' was a tapeworm (I didn't get into the details of how it became genetically altered, I didn't care) I just lost interest but trudged through a little more then it just became boring and stupid
