1.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for good Sci Fi, keep looking, Sep 7 2002
By A. Bear (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barsoom Project And Steve Barnes (Mass Market Paperback)
I read and enjoyed the other two books in this series, Dream Park and California Voodoo Game before I even knew this book existed. I was surprised and pleased to discover a third book that fell between the two. Unfortunately, The Barsoom Project was a huge let-down.

It reads as if Niven and Barnes wrote an OK outline for a novel but never bothered to put any effort into the actual writing. For example, some information that is very important to the plot is revealed in a monolog by a character that is supposedly so drunk, he can't control what he's saying. Yet he manages to express it all in complete, neatly constructed, coherent paragraphs.

The characters are poorly constructed, uninteresting and unbelievable. The dialog is unnatural. The plot is implausible. Plus, there's a romance that is so forced, it's painful.

It's no wonder this book was released by a different publisher than Dream Park and California Voodoo Game. It's an embarrassment.
