Title: Starts Well, Quickly Disappoints
Product review: The PW review above is dead on. With its action-and-travel oriented plotting, lack of character depth, and sensational-but-stupid visual events, this reminds me of a treatment for a bad action film with an [stupid] plot - i.e., a plot that only makes sense if you accept that all the characters are [stupid]. Author couldn't decide whether to draw the pseudoscience McGuffin from genetics, physics, or history, so he used them all, plus more, in a ghastly muddle of distraction.The sexual encounters by Watson were sheer vaudeville... The occasional patches of good writing and sensitivity shine like diamonds in a big nasty cesspool of, well, bad writing and insensitivity.
