Format:Taschenbuch
Ich bin ein absoluter Fan der TV-Serie "Supernatural" und habe mir deshalb dieses Buch gekauft. Es hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Ohne viel von dem Inhalt verraten zu wollen, die Geschichte spielt in der 5. Staffel zwischen den Folgen "Fallen Idols" und "Dark Side of the Moon". So genau kann man es nicht bestimmen.
Die beiden Hauptcharaktere, Sam und Dean, sind wirklich sehr gut beschrieben worden. Ich habe nie an der Glaubwürdigkeit der beiden gezweifelt, sie verhalten sich genauso, wie man sie aus der TV-Serie kennt. Die Nebencharaktere werden kurz aber ausreichend beschrieben.
Die Geschichte an sich ist dem Konzept der TV-Serie sehr naheliegend, wobei die aufgebaute Spannung es oft verbietet, das Buch aus der Hand zu legen.
Mit ein bisschen Phantasie kann man das Buch als eine ganze TV-Episode "sehen".
Was mir besonders gut gefallen hat, war, dass die auftauchenden Charaktere, die man bereits aus der Serie kennt, nicht noch mal beschrieben werden. Z.B. als Castiel auftaucht, wird NICHT nochmal erklärt, dass er ein Engel ist, der rebelliert hat und den Winchester-Brüdern hilft. (Leider ist es in den anderen Supernatural-Büchern der Fall) Für Fans der TV-Serie ist das nur störend, weil man das alles schon weiß. Für Leute, die die Serie nicht gesehen haben, ist es natürlich schwierig mit dem Inhalt mithalten zu können.
Alles in allem hat mir das Buch sehr gut gefallen und ich kann es allen Supernatural-Fans, denen die TV-Serie nicht ausreicht, absolut empfehlen.

The Winchesters Brothers at their best and most well written
7. Mai 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I am a huge Supernatural fan. I have watched every episode of all 5 seasons twice, and some more than that. I have also read all the pervious Supernatural books, including the recent Heart of the Dragon. I must say that I couldn't be more impressed with Supernatural: The Unholy Cause.
The Winchesters get word that there has been a bloody murder/suicide at a Civil War reenactment, which should have been impossible since the murderer was only using replica weapons. Drawn to what they think is a simple case, they quickly find that they have uncovered a horror as old as Jesus, so vile that even Lucifer is keeping one step back. How it all plays out and ends is a wonderfully rich, entertaining episode.
What delighted me the most about the book is that the main characters, Sam, Dean and Castiel (Bobby isn't in the book much at all) all act so much like themselves that at times you forget that you are reading and not watching a very well written episode of the show. I could see it all play out in my mind so easily. There was a minor point where Cass used a power he shouldn't still have but that was the only time at all anything was `off'. The rest of the time it was an effortless read, one I accomplished in a little over a day. I cannot stress enough what a good job Schreiber did. With a theme like the Civil War, and Confederate reenactment soldiers, he could have been playing with fire. Instead, he handled the issue with grace, dignity and respect for all sides. I have a mixed family and I was not insulted by anything that was said.
If you are a Supernatural fan, you MUST read this book. You will enjoy it. Just don't plan on getting anything else done until you have finished reading, because I promise you won't want to put it down.
Highest recommendations.

A thrill ride of a book!
12. Mai 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Like the best episodes of the series, Joe Schreiber's "The Unholy Cause" grabs your interest in its opening moments and doesn't let go until the end. It twists and turns and surprises, moving so fast that you'll find yourself at the last page completely out of breath...and wearing a big, satisfied smile.
I've been a fan of the series since the pilot episode, and was delighted to discover that Mr. Schreiber seems to be a fan as well. His portrayals of the Winchesters and their supporting cast are spot-on, to the point that you can see (and hear) them in your mind's eye as you read. Not a single note rings false. His original characters are presented in just enough detail to make them interesting, and each of them offers a surprise or two along the way. His villains are scary (and smart) and present a worthwhile challenge to our heroes.
Yes, it's a TV tie-in. It's not great literature. There are a few typos and a couple of small continuity glitches. But overall, the book is great, great fun, and I recommend it highly.

Best Supernatural Novel in a LONG Time!
16. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I read this book in only 2 days because I hated to put it down. Finally, the brothers visited my home state of Georgia! The book was well-written, jumped right into the action, and was a good tie-in with the TV series history. My only complaint is that the end was a little bit of a let-down in that it was a little predictable, kind of drawn-out, and rather chaotic. I guess the rest of the novel was so well-written, I just expected a slightly better wrap up. But this is still a better book than the last 2 Supernatural novels I read ("Witch's Canyon" and "Heart of the Dragon"), so by all means, give it a read!
