Book Reviews of The Last Oracle: A Novel (Sigma Force)
Book Review: Jumping The Shark
Summary: 4 Stars
This book moves along, and although all tales in this genre ask the reader to stretch the bounds of imaginative credibility, this one is at the absolute limit. However about halfway through the book Rollins "jumps the shark" with an Indiana-Jones type scene that makes you curl your lip. At that precise point you feel a fool for riding along with the imaginative plot - "how can I disparage THIS scene when the story up to this point was fairly unbelievable?" It's like getting booted from your "escape reading" and slapped across the face with a made-for-TV scene from Aaron Spelling.
Anyways, it's a good read and if you buy into the plot for the sake of the read, which I mostly did, it is a fine escape and well-written.
