Book Reviews of Rapid Growth
Book Review: Benign, unfortunately.....
Summary: 2 Stars
This is 1 of the weakest horror novels I've ever managed 2 finish reading (the other was Daniel Gower's THE ORPHEUS PROCESS, also part of Dell's Abyss horror series, home of the brilliant Kathe Koja). Hanner creates some spooky, gruesome atmosphere, with women giving birth 2 malignant tumors, & hints that San Jose, Calif.'s computer industry might B at the root of it all. But she does nothing with it -- nothing ever really happens. There R other problems: The book was poorly proofread, & 1 Air Force Lt. Col. has his full rank completely spelled-out every single time his name appears -- an irritating waste of space if you're in the AF & know ranks -- it coulda been abbreviated after the 1st couple times. Plus Hanner Cms 2 confuse the names of San Jose-area cities (I used 2 live there) -- this also coulda been fixed with better proofreading. I DID finish the book, & there R a few chills, but ... disappointing.
