The Apocalypse Seven by Gene DoucetteMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book—from the diverse characters to the realistic dialogue and settings, everything was masterfully developed and seamlessly integrated into the story line. What most appealed to me, however, was the unexpected humor this author infused into many of the high stress scenarios. Unfortunately, it all fell apart when the author attempted to bring this one to its conclusion. I had a very difficult time wrapping my head around what actually transpired, and while I’m fairly sure I got the gist, the details remain murky. It was a disappointment, at that point, on many levels, including the author’s tech-laden geek explanation as well as my own clearly subpar intellect. So a solid 4, bordering on a clean 5, immediately bore the brunt of my frustration, resulting in a 3.
