Book Review: Deep Storm Review
Summary: 4 Stars
I found the story very entertaining and a quick read. The story opened on an oil rig, that day was like any other day, until something bad happened. Almost 2 years later Peter Crane is hired to work on a secret project involving the oil rig. There are many twists and turns to keep the reader interested. Once you are caught up in the book, you'll find it hard to put down.XiiiBook Review: Deep Storm-Pretty Deep Read
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, this is the first solo Child book I've read, that said it was hard to put down. I've stopped the world to read all of the others he has co-written with Preston. Maybe that's why there were a few minor things that bothered me, he didn't have anyone to bounce the idea/story with, as you do with a co-author so maybe that's why they were there. I think some of the medical stuff needed a bit more research....MRI, CT, but no EEG?? And interns in a super secret atmosphere. And what about that doctor he specialized in everything, and that was some travel on the part of the bullet. Like I said though the idea was great! The location was great! There were some moments surely that keep you guessing and wondering what next!!!?? Overall I enjoyed the read, thought it was worth the time and glad I took it. Not giving anything away it's kind of an interesting theory!Book Review: Deep Trouble in the Deep Storm
Summary: 4 Stars
Navy physician, Peter Crane is called to investigate a mysterious illness abroad an oil platform. Upon further investigation, he discovers what could be the single most greatest discovery of all time, and also the deadliest!
Unlike many of the reviewers who were Lincoln Child fans, this was my first novel that I have read by Lincoln Child. The reason I picked up this book was because of the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child writing team. I had read "Tyrannosaur Canyon", by Douglas Preston, and liked the book for the most part. There was a lot of predictability to Tyrannosaur Canyon, but an entertaining book none the less. Deep Storm has a lot of clichés and a fair amount of predictability as well, but the book was entertaining as hell!
The beginning of the book had a kind of familiar feel to it; I was reminded of the movie "Sphere", based on the book of the same name by Michael Crichton. Especially when Peter Crane was tasked to investigate an illness in a Navy facility on the bottom of the ocean; if you had watched the movie "Sphere" or read the book, you'll know what I mean.
I really liked Lincoln's use of science in the book, just to make the story a little more believable. That's one thing I noticed about Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, they seemed to walk a razors edge with regards to the science fiction elements of their novels without going overboard. Somehow, the science fiction was grounded enough to be entertaining without being too cheesy. I thought the writing was tight and well executed; I wouldn't be surprised if either Douglas Preston or Lincoln Child were tapped by a Hollywood studio to write a screenplay based on one of their books.
In conclusion, this was a good book as far as writing and concepts, but there was a lot "I know where this is going..." to the book. Overall, the book was a little formulaic, but highly entertaining.
Book Review: Enjoyable and Fast Moving
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this story fast moving and with quite an interesting premise. I was certainly not expecting what the hero discovers about what is really going on under Deep Storm. Linc does an excellent job here and I can't say a thing bad about it.
I was expecting some romantic link with a certain female and was quite surprised the way things turned out. I'm not one for much romance clouding things and luckily, Linc keeps that to a minimum.
This was a great read and I highly recommend it.
