  • Hello and welcome to my channel, Taylor Talks Tales! Today I'm doing two reviews on books by the same author, Alma Katsu. I review both The Hunger and The Deep and do a brief comparison and talk about which one I liked more. Ultimately, I enjoyed reading both. I rated The Deep 3.5/5 stars and The Hunger 4/5 stars. Both were well written and well researched but The Hunger was the stronger book in my opinion.
    Let me know if you've read any of these and what you thought about them.

    Thank you for watching my video! :)

    I have been wanting to pick up The Deep, it seems like a cool concept and I like the paranormal additions to historical fiction.

      It really is a great concept! Even though it isn't very spooky, I think it's still very enjoyable. In fact, I think historical fiction lovers will get a kick out of it since it has a very unique spin on the Titanic and incorporates the Britannic, which is something I haven't seen done in fiction yet.

    Just started reading the Hunger and really enjoying it so far. Enjoy your recommendations! Hoping for a bookshelf tour in the future!

      Thank you so much Kaye! I appreciate your comment :). Glad to hear you're enjoying The Hunger. I will definitely be planning on doing a bookshelf tour in the future as bookshelf tours are one of my favorite types of videos to watch on Booktube. Stay tuned for that at some point!

    I don't usually read horror. I read the summary of the book and since I love stories about Titanic I decided to buy it. I'm kinda glad that there are elements-of and not horror itself, cause I get scared pretty easily. I'm still in the beginning and so far, so good. Thanks for the review!

    The Deep's cover is so symmetrical and I love it XD

      Me too! I'm a sucker for a good cover and I love the cover for the Deep. I hope the designer does more covers.

    I just bought both of these and I am glad that they seem to be good. It's a shame that the horror aspects are more lacking, but if it's still an interesting read despite that then I won't worry too much that I wasted my money 😉

    While I like stuff about the Titanic, The Hunger sounds more interesting. I'll have to get it after I get my Lovecraft books. Also, is that a little alien on the shelf behind you?

      Oooo which Lovecraft stories are you currently reading? And you're right! It's a Funko Pop Alien. She's my favorite Funko Pop and helps guard my books haha :)

      @@taylortalkstales8106 Sadly I haven't been able to read any Lovecraft lately because the book that I had has gone missing after having to move a lot lately. I just ordered 3 books from amazon so satisfy the desire for Cthulu.
