Title: Let this book gather DUST on your shelf!
Review: I found this book to be a crushing disappointment! My main objection is that the characters were so shallow as to be uninteresting. Also, there were so many science lectures inserted that I think the average reader will be lost (I have an undergraduate degree in biology and graduate school in physiology and I found them to be too diadactic). This book follows in the genre of "The Population Bomb" and "Silent Spring", in which scientists vastly overstate the case of the horrors of environmental contamination. OK, these books were not written as fiction as was "DUST," but the effect is still the same; OVERKILL. In summary, I found the book to be shallow and depressing.
Is the review positive or negative?
