I was hoping this would be a lot better., Jui 4 2003
I read a lot of reviews for this book before starting it, so I wasn't expecting it to be great. But a lot of the complaints I read about it dealt with it being part of a series and not resolving much of the story in this book, so I thought if I was prepared for this going in, it wouldn't detract from my enjoyment of the book.Unfortunately, not resolving much of the plot isn't the only thing wrong with this book. In fact, about the only good thing that I can say about it was that it was interesting enough to hold my attention long enough to finish it. There were just too many things in it that bothered me as I read. I really didn't think much of the characters in the book, they weren't terribly likeable, and their actions a lot of the time seemed to go against common sense. Also, there were a lot of silly coincidences in the book that just didn't make much sense except to make the story easier on the writer. I'm sure with such a major catastrophe there are interesting things going on somewhere outside of Washington, let's hear about some of those. And I can buy that Oliver Guest is in judicial sleep in Washington, but then, he just happens to live there too, come on. Finally, there were several minor things that just didn't make any sense, like calling people when the phones only work on old equipment, and then asking where they are, as Art did to Dana. Or , supposedly when Seth go the call, he had "gone to ground", so then how did Dana know where to call him? And finally, the president remembering when the auto teacher machine had broken down 45 years ago. That would have made it about 1981, and I was in school then, and all my teachers were still actual people. I really wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, there is just too much wrong with it. Having said that, however, I may read the sequel, just to find out what happens in the story because everything was left completely up in the air in this one.
