Title: Where is the plot?
Review: I had only read Prey before this, so maybe I don't get Chrichton. Where Prey was fast paced, and gripping throughout, I found this book to get boring real fast. Initially, I found the debates on global warming to be intriguing. But just when things are getting interesting (despite the flimsy plot) we have to muddle through pages and pages of more debates that grind things to a halt. By page 250 I think I get the point.The characters are so 2-dimensional. Half the time, I don't know how Evans, the main character, feels about what's happening around him. He's written mostly as an opportunistic wimp. We just get all this dialogue back and forth. Why doesn't Chrichton just call this a screenplay and sell the movie rights. I'm sure the movie will suck, too.
