Read one of this guy's a few years ago, and thought, sh*t, that was formulaic.

Anyway, I picked up two paperbacks for £5, and so I'm going to have a go at this over the Easter weekend.

EDIT: There's posssibly a half-decent novel in here trying to get out. But, if after 700 pages you don't give a sh*t what happens to the characters, then something's gone awry. I mean, we are asked to believe that a 30-something Lawyer who lives in Los Angleles (Huh, where else!) helps save the world by, among other things, falling down a crevasse in Antarctica and sustaining frostbite, surviving a lightening-strike in Arizona, being deliberately invenomated with deadly Octopus poison and living (This stuff kills everyone else who comes into contact with it), surviving a flash-flood in which our hero is stranded in a SUV in the middle of a river, flying across the Pacific to help stop a man-made Tsunami...Oh f*ck-off!!! And on the down-side, there's NO sex! 700-pages without a decent hard-on - nah, forget it.
