Helpful Score: 1

I'm a big fan of the science/action thriller genre (such as James Rollins), and overall I enjoyed "Event" by David Goleman. I thought the concept was excellent and very interesting, but at times, the writing is a little rough/confusing and it's hard to follow which characters are doing what, or suddenly there's something going on that was a surprise (such as a helicopter opening fire when you didn't realize that there was one in the area). I think most of these "issues" would be caught by a good editor or would not even be written by a more experienced author. So, I am really looking forward to the second book in the series, not only to see what happens to the characters and what adventures they will encounter, but also to see how Mr. Goleman matures as an author. The book concept and subject matter outweigh the sometimes-rough writing, so I rated it 4 stars.
