Title: Did I miss something?
Review: While the premise behind this book seemed to have all the makings of an imaginative, Kurt-Vonnegut-esque not-so-distant-future type story, the execution reminded me of a final project submitted for creative writing 101. The dialogue was totally forced, not to mention completely uninteresting. The anticlimax of the denoument was matched only by that of the storyline itself. The plot was shallow, the execution rushed and superficial, the characters completely unengaging and the style of the prose seemed to suggest that Bowman was TRYING to be provocative-- and failing miserably. The nuances of a modern society without electricity were the novels only redeeming qualities-- sort of intersting to think about what today's New York would look like power-less. But I'd rather sit through a blackout for 2 days then read Bunny Modern again.
