Review: Goobers by Cody Ziglar

 


My 50th book read for the year and ha;f way in I had to DNF. I just could not care about the plot of what happpend to these characters. It reminded me so much of Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. A group of friends staying in a cabin and then a alien parasite takes over their bodies and the town. 

We follow this group of friends who are going to stay in a cabin in a small town one of the guys named Clay is from. His friends don't want to deal with white people and rednecks. They head into town to buy food from the local Food Lion and Clay bumps into an old friend and he says an old teacher looking really weird.

They get to the cabin and get wasted on moonshine, which is very bad because that shit will blind your ass. In the middle of the night, Clay is woken up b a raccoon messing with the trash cans. He goes out an he sees the town drunk named Beanie walking around and repeating himself. Clay offers to take Beanie home and these gross things startcoming out of his ears and mouth. He falls over and breaks his neck on the trash can, but then he gets back up and the alien parasite thing leaves his body.

The group end up trapping it in the car and eventually kill it. Clay it adament about going into town to see if there are anymore and to help get rid of them because it's his hometown.

The barkeeper is also affected and they take him out and at that point, I had to stop because it is very predictable about what was going to happen and how it would end.
