LOVED THIS

Say what you like, this was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. There are lots of holes in the story line which don't fit in with the whole predator premiss. Nevertheless you can enjoy this completely.
Sit back and just enjoy the ride

Wish I hadn't seen the film

This makes a few important changes from the film. No ridiculous suit. No predator that's trying to save us (whilst also killing everything in its path! ).

Frankly, this is a better story. But, unfortunately, if you've seen the film already then you just can't experience it in the same way. The 'surprises' aren't surprises. Still a good book. But, best to watch the film afterwards.

Hm

This was really enjoyable.
It was interesting to get to know what the kid was thinking.

One thing. What happened to the epilogue?
I was curious about the armor they found in the movie, hoping that we would get some more info in the book.

Meh

It's OK but not much more than that, if you're in to the aliens vs predators films and books. For one I hope the film is better!

A better final act than the movie....

Im looking forward to watching the movie again. I think Black messed the final act up in comparison to the book, especially the death of a couple of characters and the final scenes. In fact overall the book just flowed better and I enjoyed it more than the movie since it fleshed out the characters, which of course a book can do easier than a film. The film could have had an extra 15 minutes added to fill in some glaring blanks. The constant references to dogs made more sense here. In the film it made no sense as it was missing key scenes. Overall its not as bad as some critics and fans have said and I enjoyed the listen but id say its not for everyone.

I think the franchise needs an upgrade

although there are upteen grizzly deaths i have the feeling this is aimed toward a younger audience with the introduction of space dogs that seem bizzarly out of place for a predator story in my humble opinion. I would of been more intrigued with a grittier storyline but I excepted the more A- teamy vibe of the crew helping Mckenna on his mission to fight the big beastly upgraded predator and the shenanagins that ensue. Overall an ok listen and the reason i have given THE PREDATOR...3 stars.

Starkly average.

It was okay. Very close to the film, which is disappointing as books are usually s lot better.

Good fun for what it is

The narrator was terrific. The story is enjoyable in the same way the Predator films are — action-packed. Once you focus on the lack of substance underneath that, yes, the shortcomings mount up. But on the whole, enjoyable to sit and listen to. Good fun.
