Review title: reads like a bad hollywood script
Product review: This book is an unfortunate waste of resources. The premise is creditable but the execution is staggeringly disappointing. Cardboard characters, flimsy and contrived storylines, supposedly intelligent and educated individuals behaving stupidly, and the degree to which belief has to be suspended to get through this book are just the main reasons this book deserves to go out of print. As I progressed through the book it became obvious the writing was done as though the writer were behind a camera and writing as though to set up the scene to be filmed. The problem is this is not a film where such lapses of plot and character development are compensated for to some degree by special effects, music and popcorn. I wanted to like this book - I couldn't.
