Negative Positive
Title: This book is [not good]
Review: My review title says it all. If Reilly set out to write a really bad book, which would eventually be made into a really bad movie, he succeeded admirably with "Area 7". I recently read the book at an island holiday resort, and the only reason I didn't throw it in the rubbish (as I eventually did when I returned to the mainland) was that I had nothing else to read on the beach. Reilly develops his characters such that you frankly don't care who lives or dies. His plots are inane, and considering the research he claims to have done, they contain numerous technical impossibilities. Frankly, the book reads like it was written by a 12 year old. Someone should also disable the italics function on Reilly's word processor. Not only are italics grossly overused, they often just don't make sense. Save your time, don't buy this book, and certainly don't read it.
Is the review positive or negative?
