Negative Positive
Title: cardboard science
Review: this novel has a very good premise -- guinea pigs (or in this case, bonobos) starting to evolve as humans. but the book is peopled by cardboard characters, starting from the protagonists -- kevin, jack, laurie; down to the antagonists -- raymond, the mafiosios; these people are so illogical. especially raymond who kept asking the help of the mob boss to solve his problems and in so doing just keep on complicating his problems. kevin on the other hand is such a wimp to be one of the main protagonists. i didn't not empathize with him at all. i was praying that he got caught and killed in the process.this could have been another jurassic park in terms of its premise but it failed due to the characters.
