5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC, November 17, 1999

By	Andre Paree-Huff (Fishers, IN USA) - See all my reviews

I grabed this book while having some EXTENSIVE layovers in Dallas airport. It was my second book by R.J. This one was even better then 01-01-00. I read the entire book while on my way back home and never even noticed the flight and time wasted in the airport. Thanks R.J. for making what chould have been a borring time great. The book took you from America to Europe. It had everyone involved, the CIA, England Secret service, XKGB operatives....and best of all it had a plot of people falling in love. love makes for the best underlying plot of all. Great job.

2.0 out of 5 stars BLAND, July 16, 2000

By	"mario_diggs" (Staten Island,NY) - See all my reviews

I thought this book was par at best the charecters were over emphasized. The whole plot is too unbelivible, (the main charecter just happens too fall in love w/ the same people wh tried too kill her previously, yet the tourture scenes had given a good visual and the villan was smartly chosen , but in the end just ends up too bland and seems like a carbon copy of a short Tom Clancy novel, alright if you're a spy,CIA,espionage junkie otherwise you can read if you have nothing else.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant enough..but bland, January 15, 2000

By	Fosky Bob "human" (Vacaville, CA USA) - See all my reviews

In the tradition of Tom Clancy & the rest of the technothriller gang, Pineiro's 'Y2K' is decent if already outdated only months after its release.

What it essentially boils down to is Slobodan Milosevic's desire to un-Y2K-compliant the United States. Considering the lack of Y2K-related problems, Milosevic wouldn't have caused a stir. It seems like Pineiro wanted to write a Y2K story but couldn't come up with anything plausible.

Good writing, nothing spectacular.
