Book Reviews of the Twilight of the Gods
Customer Review: So Disappointing!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Formulaic and cliched. Dumb. One could easily replace every android with an alien with no noticeable difference. The robots are differentiated into androids, fembots, gynoids, etc- which is the height of cleverness that can be found in the book. They are metal have glowing eyes- thats about all the detail we get. They tell humans that they are illogical and prone to error- MANY, MANY TIMES. There is one reference to a cell phone, and one bar scene, otherwise the setting could easily be anywhere, anytime. No mention of vehicles, streets, houses, cities, vegetation, weather or any detail. It has the thinnest of plots. It might even have been campy, retro sci-fi light reading, except there is no sense of humor. Anywhere. No jokes, no fun, no light moments. I've seen insect mating on nature documentaries that is more erotic and passionate than the lame love scene in this book. For positives-It is well edited. No incomplete or run-on sentences and writing is consistant. Big Whoop! To say it was written as if by an android would, I'm afraid, overestimate the both the author's and the publisher's cleverness. Add subtitle "A DIARY" or "by the android A.P" and they'd have a brilliantly ironic satire of the science fiction genre. As it is, the book is an insult to the reader's intelligence and taste. I can only hope it was stolen from a draft of someone else, and the original author sues them into bankruptcy. Please, please stop this madness!
