Title: Warning!
Review: Don't buy this book.Don't buy "Temple" - Reilly's next book, either.As a New Zealander, I am well acquainted with the way Australians make the English language sing. They seem to have a natural aptitude for the highly colourful phrase that Brits, Yanks, and Kiwis don't have.Reilly must be of mixed Brit / Kiwi / American blood. He has the ability to take an exciting passage of a story and turn it into something turgid, dull, utterly lacking in wit, style, or substance.It could be, of course, that Matthew Reilly is, in fact, 15 years of age: his prose reads like a junior high school pupil's B-graded Creative Writing effort.The situations are unbelievable, the characters are dull, witless, and unbelievable, and the writing has no charm. The quote from the Daily Telegraph on the back of the Australian edition of "Temple" sums it up: "There is no denying it. Matthew reilly has really arrived"(sic)What they don't say is where he was going. Back to school, I hope, to learn how to write.
