Title: Not enough to deserve a reading
Review: I expected more from KSR in this book. His Mars trilogy book were slow but had a clear theme. In this case, I do not recommend this book.Main reasons for my dissatisfaction are: slow construction of the story, weak characters, dialog not always realistic, non-exciting finale. Many times it seems the book was written to become a blockbuster movie, and I am not sure it would even make a good one.Overall, the story is in the near future, the world is warmer, sea level is rising and scientists are concerned. It really takes a long while in this book to reach a climax, which is not even that. I may read the 2nd part of this series (whenever I have time) and if I see a reason to read this, I will update my review. In the meantime, I suggest you read a Stephen Baxter book instead (if you want good sci-fi).
