    Three stars is certainly pushing it, but the book served its purpose of providing mindless, entertaining reading. As a fan of the games I was curious how a first person shooter with only a few pages of backstory could be converted into a novel. Overall I was satisfied by the conversion and got a kick out of how the monsters from the game were described. Writing style is not great and there are plenty of typos.
    Overall, if you loved Doom and want some light and easy reading for the train/car/workday break this is worth it. If you are not familiar with Doom or you are looking for a piece of quality literature I would keep searching.

    Great book, based on the computer game from id Software.

    A rollercoaster tale of alien invasion using a gate from elsewhere that opens on a Martian moon. Based on a popular video game, it properly fills its pages with shoot-em-up as a Marine charges into the alien nest in search of survivors. A blurb compared it to Starship Troopers. I wouldn't go that far, but it does have a plot and it will hold your attention.

    The shortest way I can summarize this book is this: It's like someone wrote down gameplay and packed it full of erotic jokes.I bought this one as a test to see what video game based literature was like. I shouldn't have chosen this one to begin with. There are good books that are based on video games, but this is not one of them.

    I found the premise of the book interesting, especially since I played DOOM and DOOM II way back then. However, in some ways the book is too close to the game. The explore-room-fight-monster routine gets repetitive (even the protagonist comments on that!), and ultimately the book does not add much to the already-thin DOOM plot.Still, I'll probably give the next book in the series a chance to do better.
