Negative Positive
Title: Really shallow
Review: I wholeheartedly agree with the review of Scott Gaines below. It's very difficult to stay 'in the book' when you are slapped into the now with such glaring technical errors. If weapons and tactics are going to play a large role in a novel it doesn't take much to do at least some basic research. Rosenberg profusely thanks (name dropping?) a lot of helpful folks at the beginning of the book but I noticed none of them had any experience at the 'blood and guts' level he wants us to think is being experienced by major players in peril.Rosenberg comes across as patronizing his fiction fans. He must have thought that his experience writing non-fiction automatically translates to good fiction. Readers of Clancy, Coonts, Dale Brown, et al will sneer at Rosenberg's naveté in this realm. Only two stars because I found myself rushing to get through it so I would have time left to read a good book.
Is the review positive or negative?
