Discuss About Books The Descent (The Descent #1)

One of my favourite books of all time. Not for everyone...but right up my street.

Spelunking, exploring, researching, running, destroying, annihilating, and loving are just a few of the things that you will get to do when Jeff Long transports you to Hell deep inside our planet. The Descent is a story about the expansion of our world, the discovery of new life, and the search for Historic Satan himself. Most of the story takes place miles underground and Jeff Long, a real life cave diver, brings those environments to us through detailed prose. Great characterizations, pace,

Too many words, not enough story. After one of the BEST opening chapters I've ever read, I *wanted* to suspend my disbelief for the sake of an exciting novel but I just couldn't do it. The Descent took things way past the point of suspended disbelief into plain silliness (the military guy grows horns and scales and still gets invited to lead seminars? And then he spontaneously recovers - for no apparent reason - and they put him in charge of a crack unit of soldiers to go hunt the bad guys?

My son, Mike, bought this book for me and highly recommended it. I've started it and have gotten, very quickly, to page 70 or so and know I'm in trouble: I've started a book whose subject matter I DON'T LIKE and yet have been hooked by an author's skillful presentation of this world I DON'T LIKE. What's not to like? Well, we're dealing with a presentation of evil manifested as gruesome and unreasoning cruelty. Right off, I'm on guard. What makes this book simultaneously off-putting and

Last month I watched two movies with my wife. 'Sanctum' and 'The Descent' (which has no relation with this book). Sure, the casting and dialogues left a lot to be desired, but in retrospection it dawned on me that it didnt really matter in the end as the real Hero-antagonist of these movies was The Darkness itself. The Claustrophobic Depths. The Subterranean Hell.After watching those movies, my wife told me that she would never go on a cave "exploration" adventure even if it was in reality a

Holy Wow what a book!!!Dwight Crockett, a Himalayan guide known as Ike, discovers a cave containing a mutilated body...a warning that "Satan exists" carved into its skin. A nun, searching for the first language in her quest to be closer to God, unearths evidence another human species exists. A military expedition encounters something feeding upon the dead in a mass grave.Each of these separate events lead to the most shocking revelation: Mankind is not alone. The Underworld is real. A geological

"The Descent" is one of those rare finds that is changes the way you think about novels. A book that sticks with you. That you hold up as a model, and compare other books to.
