Title: Apparently James Cameron read this book before AVATAR
Product review: I liked this book--really liked it. It was exciting and fun, lots of cool creatures and adventure. Super fun to read, thrilling--and that's about the gist of it. Amazonia is perfect "Airplane" fiction--nothing profound or literary about it. Just an adrenaline rush. And I'll be honest--I really like airplane fiction, so I'm not talking down about that genre at all.The only thing I didn't like--and I'll give it a four star rating because of it--was that the hero seems to be the only person capable of heroic acts. Now, I realize that he is the hero and with that comes heroic acts--but he is traveling through the jungle with a bunch of highly trained army rangers, who don't seem very competent around the main character.Other than that--the book was great.I did notice some very similar elements to this book and Avatar. In fact, some of the similarities are so uncanny that if I were James Rollins, I would call up ol' Jim Cameron and ask him about it.
