Negative Positive
Title: Kooky
Review: Dismal and depressing. A very kooky messiah is cloned in a fish bowl and gets a huge following in 2000 by acting out stereotypical female tantrums. That actually makes it sound better than it is. The people in this story are all one-dimensional simpletons, the bad guys right out of central casting. Some of this is amusing, but it seems eternal. The author has a lot to say, says it a dozen times over, but doesn't really seem to know much about anything, especially prose. It's all just too vapid and weird. You'll see the less-than-exciting conclusion trumpeted by page 50 and kick yourself for reading the other 600 when you reach the big letdown. The author seems to think there's a vital message in this book, but here's a better one: Read something worthwhile and save yourself the time I wasted on this turgid mess.
