What a stinker!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grid (Hardcover)
After the fantastic Berlin Noir stories and the passable Second Angel, the grid is an obvious, overly written and predictable novel with the literary merit of a hollywood blockbuster like Armeggedon. So disapointing. The characters were so 2 dimensional, the evil menace was as scary as a sesame street character and the drama was as gripping as a bowl of custard. This from a junk writer wold have been acceptable, however we Kerr writes a good novel they generally are good, ... well researched, believable and enjoyable. The Second Angel still had the elements of writing a novel for the Hollywood market but alas not The Grid. One of the most dissapointing books i have had the misfortune of reading
3.0 out of 5 stars
"Smart" building outsmarts designer,
This review is from: The Grid (Mass Market Paperback)
Shades of 2001. Another tale of technology gone amuck. Building computer takes over operation of building amd makes a "game" out of eliminating its human occupants. Computer devises some inventive ways of dispatching the human competition, buts humans persist. An interesting read with a few twists on a sterotypical theme.

Hi-tech suspense silliness,

This review is from: The Grid (Mass Market Paperback)
I didn't believe the premise of "The Grid" for one minute, and yet I found it immensely enjoyable. It reads like a Stephen King horror novel and treads some of the same ground. The horror is a malevolent computer that takes over a newly constructed building and proceeds to kill the humans trapped inside in an increasingly grisly manner. Author Kerr makes all this quite exciting as long as you don't take it too seriously.
