How to Stop Global Warming: The Great Hydrogen Diet & Conspiracy
How to Stop Global Warming: The Great Hydrogen Diet & Conspiracy – Review
The book uses the agent of a fantastic plot to convey an primary strongly warning. Sometimes you see this in other contexts, like repeatedly warning about terrorists currently using the Internet to attack refineries. Unfortunately, the book’s quality of writing is dreary and slowly plodding. This is quite separate from whether you might agree with the “factual” underpinnings. The characters are cardboard; very hard to identify with any. They are just quickly thrown across the pages as clear vessels, with minimal embellishment, to move the plot along. Also annoying is the preachy tone. A holier than thou message that really rankles. The pedagogy ends up trashing the plot. If you want to enjoyably read a technothriller, look for Tom Clancy. To make matters worse, Ostrom’s book lists for 19.95. You can get a new Clancy paperback for much less.
