5.0�toiles sur 5 The X-Files Ground Zero by: Kevin J. Anderson, Avril 12 2002

Par Un client

This review is from: Ground Zero (Mass Market Paperback)

Kevin J. Anderson crafted not only an X-Files masterpiece, but also a science-fiction masterpiece. Ground Zero is an action-packed science-fiction thriller. I love it is worth every cent. Kevin J. Anderson wrote both Mulder and Scully perfectly in tune with their TV personalities. Ground Zero really deserved it's number one spot on the London Times Bestseller's List. IF YOU ARE AN X-PHILE, OR YOU JUST LIKE THE X-FILES, THEN YOU HAVE TO GET THIS BOOK! Ground Zero is a book about a typical X-File, people die under mysterious circumstances on federal property so Mulder and Scully are called in. Ground Zero is pretty much about nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon testing, and one man's revenge. It all starts at a nuclear weapons research facility where Dr. Emil Gregory sits down to work. Eventually his secretary brings him a package. In the package is a ziploc baggy containing a strange black ash and a note that says "for your part in the past". A short time after that there is a power shortage in Dr. Gregory's office. After a minute of panicking, a fireball spontaneously appears in the center of the office and engulfs Dr. Gregory.

This review is from: Ground Zero (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is quite possibly the worst book I've ever read. The language is rudimentary at best, with Anderson's repetitious narrative grating on my nerves from the very beginning. He seems quite fond of certain descriptions, and as the subject of these descriptions are presented time and again, he reverts back to his original presentation of them, such as "her long face," or "sheafs of paper"-again and again throughout the book. The tone and framework of the writing is reminiscent of the Weekly Readers I was required to read as a student in the sixth grade. There were different levels and colors assigned to the books according to the student's reading skill, 1 being the beginner level and 4 being the moderately difficult level, using the primary palette as a compliment to this system. I would not be surprised to see this book being issued as a Yellow Stripe Level 2, sitting on the shelves of elementary schools across the country.

The storyline is weak and the characterization is completely off target. There are holes in the plot you could drive a Mack truck through. It is rare that I give such a scathing review, but this, I assure you is completely warranted. This book is not only insulting to X-Files fans, but to readers in general. I suppose one cannot expect much from a book that supports no critical acclaim of its own on the back cover, rather, but for the series solely responsible for its marginal success. Did no one have anything positive to say about this travesty? Not even the janitor at the New York Times? Not surprising.

From the first line, it was obvious this would be a waste of time and I struggled to even finish it. By page 22 I had already flagged 3 grammatical errors...and by the time I finished the book I had flagged 9 in all, unforgivable in a widely circulated published work. I can only hope the editor was asleep on the job, and not as incompetent as his/her work would suggest. One can only hope the other X-Files serial novels are not as ridiculously juvenile as Ground Zero.

I enjoyed the book. The plot was interesting and it would be interesting to see produced. It seemed quite "epic" in it's proportions. Read more

This is one of my favorite X-Files books. I especially liked how he dove into Scully's past and they went out to witness the bomb. Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 Great Story falls a little short
We really enjoyed Ground Zero--it had a great story line, but at times, it was hard to follow. I also did not think Mulder or Scully were portrayed as they are in the show. Read more
