Title: Could it be any more insulting?
Review: As a reader, I don't really enjoy being led around by the nose -- there are a few things I'd occasionally like to figure out by myself, thanks.The story is a neat idea, though nothing new if you've seen/heard any conspiracy theory shows in the last 30 years. Essentially, the Illuminati are coming to take over the world -- funnily enough, even though I've heard of them, and I'm sure you've heard of them, none of the educated elite in this book have heard of them. Apparently they've never listened to Art Bell, or seen the sci-fi channel. Or read a history book.The characters are flat and uninteresting and horribly cliche, with the main character's description looking suspiciously like the author's picture, and the buxom genius scientist damsel in distress.If you like being told exactly what to think and feel while you're reading, (in fact, this book would probably do remarkably well as a TV show), this is the book for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
