Negative Positive
Title: Hated it.
Review: I was loaned this book by a friend who raved about it. I read it while sick and bed and ended up preferring to stare at a wall. "This is not a book to be put down lightly, but to be thrown with great force..." RAH's vision of the future is fascinating, but for that I would rather read William Gibson. From the implausible plot to the unnatural (read silly) dialog, I was irratated from the 5th page. As highly as RAH is praised as a writer one would think his characters would be more believable. His female character (whatever her name was) is completely false, obviously written by a man. The dialog between the two main characters is completely fatuous. I wouldn't even recommend this book to a 13 year old boy (the only audience who may find this poorly-conceived, horribly-written waste of trees entertaining).
Is the review positive or negative?
