Title: Are you kidding me?
Review: This would have been a good 200 page book...maybe. But Reynolds drones on and on about sci-fi baloney that would only interest a physics PhD or a geek that thinks he knows science, coincidence? I think not. And where was the editor for this book? Reynolds writing isn't good enough to spend a couple paragraphs describing a bio `war' at the molecular level. He may have had some cool new ideas but I couldn't get through all the bio-tech B.S. It was just plain boring.And then there are his characters. Cardboard cutouts have more going on. I didn't care one bit about these people, live, die, whatever. But as one reviewer pointed out, Reynolds somehow kept me thinking that something was finally going to happen. Nothing happened, honestly I couldn't take it anymore and skipped the last 30-40 pages and read the last chapter. Even that was painful and completely anti-climactic. But I was determined, just so I could warn you off.
Is the review positive or negative?
