Review: Could have been better
Rating: 2 out of 5

This book sounded promising when I read the blurb. A satellite system called Climate Control is protecting areas from the worst weather. There is a terrorist attack, a dreadful storm and a high octane finish. However, I found the style of writing curiously clinical and uninspiring. It was very detached, like reading an instruction manual. Dialogue wasn't very convincing; a married couple spoke to each other as though they were addressing a committee. There was a randomness in the use of apostrophes, particularly in plurals and there were several homophones in use.It's a good idea but I wasn't convinced by the exectution. I would like to have been made to feel involved in the story and to care more about the characters but I found them all rather bland. It strikes my mind but not my heart.
