2.0 out of 5 stars
Offends me-> wiping "WIMPS" isn't worthy work,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Jupiter's Bones (Hardcover)
I'll say the good things first:it is a well written mystery. I have enjoyed another novel in this series. The main detective as in previous novels is a sensitive well meaning fellow who is very lovable. Two things stick in my craw though: 1) characterization of cosmologists as "mad scientists" 2) characterization of minority or fringe religions as dangerous cults I think that maybe the author's bigotry is more dangerous than most fringe religions. I grew up as Christian Scientist and I found that the misunderstanding and abuse from "normal" people was much more dangerous than other harmless Christian Scientists who are actually very sweet people who mean everyone else well. Characterization of the detective Oliver as thinking that opera, ballet and soup were "gay" things was if nothing else funny. The FBI Massacre at Ruby Ridge will be repeated if such novels are a gauge of the popular mind. This kind of characterization is not a positive sort of fiction: it is both anti-religion and anti-science. |
