2012.......bum bum BUM.........

In the book 2012, there is a lot of violence. As usual in books of a science fiction nature, this violence comes in the form of massive hairy beasts having their brains blown out by tough-guy survivors with shotguns. Blood. Looooots of blood. But I think Strieber stresses in this book that the monsters (which become alert at fear) aren't so different from a lot of people that are in today's world. All sorts of people are always watching out for any weaknesses (those bullies. psh.) Honestly, just about everyone can count the one person that seems to be completely devoid of compassion. No smiling, no laughing, no compliments, and always has to be a hater. And also, his multi-dimension plot suggests that he thinks these people aren't so different from ourselves. But I think Strieber is also throwing a dig at everyone who made fun of him when he was "abducted by aliens".
