Funk Rating: 8 out of 10
This was actually a pretty fun book and a good, original storyline. Messianic complex, combined with technology and a very creative re-interpretation of Noah's Ark and what the flood was all about. The characters are pretty fun, and the story moves along well.
My issue is that he trumped up the action scenes just one notch too many. James Bond got out of fewer tight spots (across ALL his escapades) than the characters in this book. But, perhaps that's what kind of made this fun - it forces you to suspend disbelief and just go along for the ride.
I'm borderline on telling you to buy the hardcover. But if you want something different that still reeks of NYT pulp bestsellers, grab it. Enjoy!
