Title: BOTH SAD AND HILARIOUS IN AN UNINTENDED WAY
Review: I picked this book up in a used bookstore for a buck in hardcover, still a waste of money. I'm a minor fan of good techno-thrillers, those that have at least a factual basis. It's a good thing that laughter is good for the soul because this travesty kept me rolling and laughing. I read this while lounging on a beach in Oregon, almost caused a tsunami, I think. Previous reviewers have detailed many of the technical faults, so I won't go into them again. Other reviewers have mentioned the two-dimensional characters; one-dimensional is more like it. On a note not mentioned by other reviewers, the author in his Acknowledgements at the end of the book, wrote that he had the assistance of several former Special Ops soldiers and eminent scientists, all of whom he declined to identify. They must have read the manuscript before it was published.
Is the review positive or negative?
