Book Review: Echopraxia By Peter Watts

24.09.05

I was so disappointed with this novel. I went in with such high hopes. Vampires, zombies and a solid space opera. Sign me up. The reality was that it was just dull. Nothing happened. The characters were uninteresting and none seemed to like each other very much let alone form any kind of connection with each other.

When there was a need for an action scene, it was so poorly written that you blink and you’ve missed it. I did not even realise a character had died until pages later as the description was so lacking. I am surprised I managed to finish this to be honest. Such a shame as it could have been a really amazing novel.
