1.0 out of 5 stars
Politically Contradictory 1960's Thriller with Bad Characterization,
By Judah (Terre Haute In USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earth Unaware (Paperback)
Set in the United Welfare States of America, the characters hate communism and Soviet Russia with a passion. They are living in a socialist republic with 75% of people on the dole, yet don't understand how this is socialism. This only makes sense when you realize the author doesn't get philosophical political theory, which makes this entire book about it into a dumb farce.
The actual plot involves the Reverend Ezekiel Tubber, who speaks the Word. When he gets mad, his Words come true. Little Ed, radio host of the paranormal freak midnight show has a talent for inciting Tubber's anger. First Tubber curses women's make-up, creating the homespun look. Then he curses radio, television, and film while on Ed's radio program. Fast forward 70 pages. The USWA can't handle the lack of distraction for the masses, and riots ensue. This 174 pages book concludes in the most obvious way possible. Don't read or buy this work of dated and bad fiction. |
