Title: Not so good...
Review: First of all let me say that I'm a big fan of Matthew Reilly. I've all his books with the exception of the hover car series and enjoyed nearly every one of them. Scarecrow I did not however; it was an absolute battle for me to even finish this book. I'm sure you'd know to expect action in a Matthew Reilly story, but this was far too over the top and I found it almost exhausting to read. It's action action action with no break, the story leads from one thing to another and back again over and over. Characters get into impossible situations where you think they've had it, when suddenly, [surprise] another impossible factor gets them out. The first couple of times the fact a character may die seems plausible to you, but you just expect some more crap to save them time after time -- it becomes very predictable and boring, really. It's painful! Read Ice Station and leave it there I'd say!
