Negative Positive
Title: Techno Thriller Without End
Review: I "read" this on a drive from Washington, DC to Detroit, MI and back. (At 15 packed CDs, not much time left to hear anything else, believe me!) Mr. Guidall does everything he can to make this book come to life. He's a real pro. But something this long should have had some kind of point to it, or at least an interesting ending. There's lots of biological and genetic techno talk that you won't need to understand, and weaved around that a pretty pedestrian plot, full of give-aways – Bear stealing his own thunder (you as a reader are way ahead of the characters most of the time, which is absurd and makes you feel silly). By doing childbirth, perhaps Bear decided to go for both the largely male techno audience and the romance ... audience simultaneously. Who knows? Who cares? Oh, and did I mention it was unconscionably long? If you insist on experiencing this novel, may I recommend it in an abridged form? You won't miss a thing.
Is the review positive or negative?
