I couldn't finish this book. Heck, I think I was only able to read 1/4 of it. I hadn't even gotten to the meat of the story yet, so I can't say whether or not the idea behind the book is good. The main problem I had with the book was the author's writing style. The description/imagery of the book was way overblown and dramatic. Even though the subject is no laughing matter, I couldn't help but laugh at the book just because of how ridiculous some of the writing was. In that regard at least, the book is like one of those cheap Sci-fi movies: so bad that it's funny
