World Order

Summary: GOOD IDEA - POOR EXECUTION
Review: By the first 100 pages you know how it's going to finish but it's still interesting, then the characters become predictable and the writing is like a screenplay for the X Files. Too many holes in the plot for anyone who likes realism in their stories

Rating:
Summary: Very factual fiction
Review: Grammer school literary talent cannot conceal this book is only a vehicle for disseminating the author's anti-government conspiracy theories. Now in paperback, it should be racked with the supermarket tabloids. There are better ways to waste your money.

Rating:
Summary: Terrible writing spoils a promising idea
Review: I cannot stress how poorly written this book is. Given the (apparently true) material that the author had to work with, it is difficult to conceive of a worse plot written with less skill. The paper-thin characters walk through their assigned parts like automata, behaving in unbelievable ways simply in order to fulfill the requirements of the story.

If you like conspiracy theories, particularly those based on essentially factual information, then you may like this book, but be prepared to wade through it painfully rather than enjoying the experience.

Summary: As a fan of suspense thrillers, I found this one outstanding
Review: Like the author's last book, I didn't know where fiction ended and fact began. He includes information about biological and psychochemical weapons that made me think it's really happening and we just don't know it yet. Really scary stuff and great reading.

Rating:
Summary: Frightening and preaching
Review: True, this book isn't high fiction, but the story it tells is chilling. In a time of concern about WMD, this book shows perhaps who is really behind biological weapons research. Other than the writing style (which is mawkish and strained), the only real down point of the book is the concept that America's stature in the world has declined primarly due to drugs. When the drug pipelines of the world are wiped out, America bounces back from the edge of destruction, according to Goliszek. Of course, the problem could more easily be solved by legalization, but as a person employed in the field of public health, it would be against engrained dogma for the author to admit such. Still, a scary look at the illegalites our government seems to relish in dealing in.
