2.0 out of 5 stars "Good Destruction, Bad Dialogue, November 5, 2000
This review is from: The Night Manhattan Burned (Hardcover)
The idea of a Liquid Natural Gas Tanker exploding in NYC is an excellent idea for a story. Unfortunately, Mr. Jackson needed better execution. His scenes of destruction in Manhattan and Staten Island is the only reason this books gets 2 stars and not 1. The characters were poorly done. The dialogue was not natural and, in some cases, unrealistic. And I grew tired of the main characters, Rider and Amura, calling each other "Dear" and "Darling" every other line. More inner thought was needed to truly flesh out the characters. Also many of the scenes went overboard on the melodrama. With better character development and a few more plot lines, this book could have been so much better.
