Book Reviews of Antarktos Rising
Book Review: "This is one book you can not put down"...? Hardly.
Summary: 1 Stars
It is rare that I abandon a book partway through, but this ridiculous tome made that low grade early on. I came to that decision based on a number of things -- the ludicrous "science" and the poor character development among others -- and am grateful for it, as I never got to the gag-inducing creationist nonsense that other reviewers have mentioned here.
I enjoyed exactly one thing about the book -- the brief mention of Portsmouth, New Hampshire (one of my favorite towns and vacation spots).
I understand from reading some of the other reviews by people who actually suffered through the whole book that there were quite a few more bone-headed "science" bits in it, but for me, the whole thing began to fall apart with the "Instant Freeze" and "Super Rapid Growth" scenes early on. They reminded me of the absolutely moronic scene in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" (one of many such scenes, actually) wherein characters are actually RACING a wave of cold air that is instantaneously freezing everything in its path. Books like this really illustrate the need to spend more on science education.
(Please note that the one star in this review is only there because I can't figure out right now how to post a "zero star" review.)
