Review: Trite, Poorly-written, Completely Amateurish Effort
Rating: 1 out of 5

Another classic example of Amazon's review system being gamed.  'Scion' is appallingly trite, poorly edited, completely predictable, and so choppy that it is often hard to figure out what happened from one paragraph to the next.  The characters are shallow and unbelievable -- a ten-year-old's idea of good guys and bad guys. There are so many technical errors in the book that it's almost amusing, and the laws of physics become mere suggestions. I almost abandonded the book after I realized all of the positive reviews must have come from the author and his friends  (because no self-respecting Amazon reader would give this book more than two stars), but kept reading out of morbid curiosity. Don't waste your money -- or more importantly, your precious time.
