Kenai Catastrophe

Rating:
Summary: Disappointment
Review: I wanted to like this book. I work in the environmental field and I was thrilled to see a book billed as "an environmental mystery." The hero is even an aquatic biologist! And, since I had read a favorable review, I was sure I was in for a good read when I ordered this book.

What a disappointment! If there was ever a book desperately in need of a good editor, it is this one. I can only assume that this book must be of the "self-published" variety. By the end of the second page, I had an overwhelming urge to whip out my red pen so I could correct the grammar and restructure sentences. I do a lot of writing and editing in my job, so perhaps I'm more sensitive to these things, but after 4 chapters I couldn't take it anymore and I put the book in my "donate to the library" pile.

Obviously, because this book has received some 5 star reviews, some people aren't bothered by the technical shortcomings of this publication. But, if bad grammar drives you nuts, stay away from this book.

Summary: Fantastic Story
Review: Michael Barbour takes a very critical issue with the enviornment and writes a story that is not only interesting but exciting. Once I starting reading, I was so involved I didn't want to put the book down.

After reading Kenai Catastrophe, my next vacation will be in Alaska.

Wonderful!!!...

Review: This book is action packed from the very first paragraph onward. It focuses on issues of the environment in a way that the average reader would find very exciting. This Action character depicted in this novel represents the good fight against societies new enemies in an exciting manner. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys action/adventure.
