I like this book alot it was cool. this book is basically about hellboy is trying to stop a event of apocalyptic proportions. there are Weird sightings of cryptozoological and mythological creatures around the globe and some monster apper and then disaper in thin air. weird right? read the book and find out what happens
My only exposure to Hellboy has been the excellent films by Guollermo Del Toro. I expected more of the same here but that was not quite what I got in this novel by Tim Lebbon. The book is about 50% wonder and 50% cornball and by the end you will find cornball is winning.
From the Top Secret File of an Unofficial Reviewer of the Files Recording the Incident Henceforth Known as "The 1997 Event."For Authorized Eyes OnlyDate: 15 October 2010I came upon this historical document, and I was amazed at how close the world came to a true cataclysm. Fortunately, Hellboy, and the BRPD were there to save the day, at some significant personal cost. Truly, the death toll was astounding. The engineer of these horrible happenings was a man with good intentions, but one who slipp...
I needed a break from the usual reads. I wanted something quick, and escapist in nature. This book fit the bill perfectly. If you enjoy the comic book series by Mike Mignola then you'll enjoy this as well. Tim Lebbon keeps to the Hellboy canon in portrayal of the BPRD cast of characters. He introduces a vast assortment of mythological and creatures of folk lore to the storyline and pits them against modern technology. One of the best depicted scenes is the attack on Heathrow Airport by a fleet
Easily one of the best Hellboy novels I have read so far. It is well written, intriguing and presents a wonderful story that really feels like it belongs in the Hellboy universe.That being said, you do need some knowledge of Hellboy, as well as the BPRD and its main agents in order have the necessary context to fully enjoy this novel.

Wow. This one was hard to put down because of everything going on, I really wanted to see what would happen next. There's not only the mystery element when the creatures first start showing up randomly and attacking, but also the nail-biting action and thrills as the BPRD figures out what is going on and it becomes a race to the finish. Can they reach the architect of these monster attacks before he achieves his goal? What exactly is his goal? And what does werewolf and BPRD new(ish) recruit Abb...
Awesome read! The dialogue in this one was so spot on. I loved seeing the genuine loving friendship between Hellboy and Liz. I love seeing Hellboy portrayed as what he really is, which is a big sap who, in between punching villains and monsters, will kiss his friends on the forehead. So cute.
Great book, interesting monsters and mythical creatures. The plot and how the story played out seemed very realistic.
Last year - in August, I think - I picked up a Hellboy novel called On Earth As It Is In Hell, by Brian Hodge. I needed something to read, and I couldn't find anything else that looked interesting in the time I had. I figured it would be a quick, mindless read. I was wrong. I was honestly surprised at how engrossing and well written the book was. I think I read it in two days, as I could hardly put it down. Fast forward to my birthday, and my darlin' giving me an Amazon.ca gift certificate. I us...
This is one of the better Hellboy prose novels from Pocket/Dark Horse. It's a action-packed, complex story with considerable misdirection (you really have to pay attention), and Lebbon does a fine job of building seemingly unrelated events into a deep and compelling plot. I thought he did a good job of getting the characters right, too. More popcorn, please.
Opened this book expecting a light read but ended loving it. Tim Lebbon really makes the Hellboy 'family' come to life. He has really made them his own. More Hellboy novels please Tim
Based on the Hellboy Comic/Movie Franchise.
The best of the Hellboy novels I've read so far.The basic plot is a radical environmentalist's wife is murdered by the government and he then decides to cleanse the world by bringing back all of the creatures of myth. So he and his sons, using a mixture of magic and science, release magical (and mostly deadly) creatures on the world. So we have Hellboy and the BPRD battling dragons, giant birds, griffins, krakens, werewolves, demons and more. Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman also play major roles in t...
Mike Mignola's Hellboy Series is a highly regarded work of fiction that has both its successful and unsuccessful adaptations and spin-off works. Hellboy: Unnatural Selection is definitely one of the former in this instance. While there are a couple of weak points in the story, particularly the narration surrounding Abby in the earlier chapters, Lebbon manages to hit his stride with her character that makes her more compelling. Regardless, this book is well worth a read and is an interesting spin...
Hard to get into. Good story though.
This mere 300 page book took me two weeks to finish. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Somewhere in between perhaps. I loved the idea of mythological monsters returning from old to wreck havoc on earth and the whole radical environment idea. I love Hellboy movies, but there was some element missing in this that kept me putting it down easily. Could be its overall too light nature and not enough dark to balance it out. Totally recommend to hellboy fans and young adult.
