Review: Kind of a copout at the end
Rating: 2 out of 5

Has a decent story in there, but the book is desperately in need of an editor and a much better ending. So many mangled sentences that stopped me cold while trying to figure out what the hell the author was trying to say. Typos galore. Also, people don't use abundant resources as money, they use scarce resources, so the author's lack of basic knowledge of economics 101 stood out.The ending is atrocious, both storylines. It's like the author got bored with writing it, or overwhelmed with his plot, and just ended it in the biggest copouts ever. Maybe there is a sequel, but Pollen wasn't worth the slog through the bad sentence structure and childish dialogue so I doubt I'd even consider it. Pity, because it is such an interesting premise. Hopefully Lamb will rewrite it some day.
