Negative Positive
Title: Painful, trite and overdone
Review: I realy wanted to like this book. I picked it up looking for a new author. As others have noted, racism plays a big role in this book. It's not done well. The author manages to pound the issue into nearly every page regadless of wether it would fit the plot.Those that noted that the aliens seem to share human motivations and actions are in my opinion, correct.I had to give up on this book after about 50 pages. Like others who have reviewed it, I love sci-fi, I thought I was getting a good action packed aliens-vs-human thriller. What I got was a heavy handed morality play that could have been better by a third grader.When I found out from reviews that author actually decided to write this as a first in a "series" I gave up. I rarley put down a book unfinshed. It bothers me to do so and I probably would have finished this mindnumming tale if it had been a stand alone novel.I cannot recommend anyone read this.
Is the review positive or negative?
