Behemoth Review

Written by Craig on November 13th, 2010

Behemoth, Westerfeld. Yes. Follows Leviathan, with apparently one more to come in the series. Classified as YA by my library, it’s certainly not a dense read, though it does have a number of interesting ideas threaded through. I was appalled to see “led” spelled “lead” at least twice (spelled correctly at least once); it’s a depressingly common résumé error, and it’s very disappointing to see it creeping into prose. That was really the only issue I had with the book, though: I like the characters, and their adventures do not leave my eyes rolling out of my head, and there haven’t been many books lately that I’ve breezed through quite so pleasantly.
