5.0 out of 5 stars THE LESSON, June 19, 2008
This review is from: THE LESSON (Kindle Edition)
This book is one of the most frightening adult sci-fi horror tales I've ever read!
It shows how racial prejudice could cause us to destroy mankind!
I wouldn't recommend this for children...unless you want the kids to have bad nightmares!
Anyway I rate this as a real page turner, but a wee bit to gory for the kiddies.
Great read!

1.0 out of 5 stars couldn't get through it!, September 12, 2009
This review is from: THE LESSON (Kindle Edition)
I have read over 80 books on my kindle in the past year. 95% of which I really enjoyed. I really tried with this book. I struggled with the "details to the point of boring" in the beginning, hoping it would get better. When the pilot finally landed on the planet, I thought o.k. here we go. The main problem for me was the dialog. It just did not ring true. I could not accept the characters as real and so I could not invest in the story.

Oh well, what do I know. It was on the N.Y. bestsellers list.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't do it..., November 29, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: THE LESSON (Kindle Edition)
This has to be the worst purchase I've made from Amazon. The story is implausible, but if you can get beyond that, the characters are not fleshed out in a way you can relate to, the gore is beyond nightmarish, the author is pushing his belief in reincarnation and eastern mysticism in a very indulgent way, and the language is foul. The main character does not react in a believable way to what's going on around him, and personally, I think it's a sick mind that came up with this garbage. Don't waste your money, people. You WILL be disappointed.
