Book Reviews of Red Lightning (Red Thunder)
Book Review: All over the place
Summary: 2 Stars
This here's one of those SciFi novels that's written about the "future" but it's really more about the author's view on current events. I like John Varley. I've enjoyed some of his books and enjoy reading his film reviews on his web site. But the meandering plot here looses focus to many times in dabbling in Katrina/tsunami horrors, populist anti-government rhetoric and a coming of age story. There's some nifty ideas, and swift turns of phrase hidden here and there, but the weaknesses outweighed the strengths for me.
