| 01.07.05 | Cricthon's style is, I think, starting to show through. He clearly picks a topic that he's interested in, does tons of research, then wraps a quick little thriller yarn around it in order to write it all off. However, even though the characters are thin and in some cases unbelievable, the plot still kept me flipping the pages and it's a pretty fast 560-page read. The appendices and bibliography in the back are almost exactly opposite to the popcorn quality of the novel, but that's always how his books are: fun adventures with readable science-talk in between. Oh yeah, it's all about environmental science and how wrong Global Warming is. |
