Emily S. thinks this book is Worth Reading.
I like the idea of this book, and I thought the plot was really solid. I kept getting distracted by the annoying names of things, though, which were trite and unimaginative. There was a formula the author apparently used, like OrganInc, CrustaeSoy, BioDefences, NeoGeologicals, etc. It really annoyed me. However, if you can get past that, the story is a good one. Maybe if I had never read 1984 I would have found this more believable or entertaining or imaginative.
