Par	Oldie Man (California) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Overload (Paperback)

When I think that there are thousands of wannabe writers out there who want to get a book published before they die, it makes me sad that trash like this is published just because an author had some previous best sellers. A silly, rather boring plot. A character who beds practically everyone in the book! His co-worker dies so he goes to pay his condolenses to the widow. They go to bed that night! He goes to visit a quadraplegic. Yes, he beds her. He goes to visit his best friend in another state. While there, we learn that his friend cannot get his wife pregnant, soooooooooooo, you got it, the protaganist gets her pregnant! Then, the next morning her sister comes in and he gets her too! All of this and his poor wife is dying of cancer. Absolutely ridiculous writing. What an insult to think that this book is supposed to be literature.

This review is from: OVERLOAD (Mass Market Paperback)

I think "Overload" by Arthur Hailey shows the main difficulties in providing a big state reliable with electricity.
The story which not only reports the technical aspects of this awkward topic plays in California.
The responsible persons who have to organize the running off in the power station are not only stressed of their demanding job.Familiar problems make their work more difficult than ever before.
The storys about citizens who are suffering from their fate, not getting the needed energy to survive, complete the dramatical tellings of Arthur Hailey.
The only point I want to criticize is the often conspicuous constructed action in the story which remembers in some ways on cheap novels you get in supermarkets.

This review is from: OVERLOAD (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is now 20 years old. For anyone living in California, it seems ironic that this book can touch on so many of the problems facing California now. It almost seems as if it were written yesterday. I find it strange that the author could have gotten this much information at a time when none of us gave a thought to where our power was coming from. Does this mean that the power shortages, gas shortages, etc. were know then but never brought to the attention fo the public? This a work of fiction and is still a good read.
