A solid X file story, a cool concept, the book seemed a little lost/rushed towards the end but overall quite good.
My favourite thing is that Mulder and Scully never manage to keep/find any evidence.

This was pretty good, all told. The story was nicely creepy, just like an X-Files story should be, and it matched the tone of the usual monster-of-the-week episodes beat for beat. An excellent tie in novel. Five stars for being exactly what I want in the X-Files.

A solid and gritty X-Files story that could have been a TV episode.

The medicine is better researched than the show. Some unintentionally funny things about cows. Characters feel a bit off - and the author certainly like to talk badly about overweight women - fleshy arms and a large strong woman who looked like she had an endocrinopathy. Also the way he describes Asian characters feels weird too. The prose can get a bit awkward. But the story is like a slightly below average episode. The skin transplant angle is interesting.
It’s missing the banter or humor. I think the bond isn’t quite there - not the respect nor the playfulness. But otherwise this Scully and Mulder are decent standins.

Redelijk spannend boek, niets is wat het lijkt. De wisselende perspectieven zorgen voor extra spanning. Soms is het iets te beschrijvend of onduidelijk naar mijn smaak.

Good plot, but they felt a little out of character, dialogue-wise.

This is the first X-Files book I've ever read, and it was pretty decent. I wish it had a creepier monster, and it was missing the banter between Mulder and Scully that I love so much. But it was written well enough to keep my interest.
