Negative Positive
Title: Contrived and Cliche Ridden
Review: This was a terrible book. Right-thinking fascists blow the daylights out of horrible, menacing tree huggers. The characters were so unreal it was hard to finish the book. It would have been much better to portray the trained killers (the supposed heroes)as tortured ambivalent souls rather than caring family men. Caring family men do not become covert operatives, stroking their guns for a living. Also Clancey allows his own disdane for environmentalists to show through and often allows his characters to preach to the reader.
Is the review positive or negative?
