Fun Stuff > ENJOY
Matthew Reilly much?
salada:
i used to buy his books before international flights and read them in one/two sittings on-board. they might not have any literary whatever in the same way dumb action flicks don't have any cinematic whatever, but they kill time, and you are guaranteed to read the phrase "his head exploded like an overripe watermelon" at least once in all of his books, so i'm not going to argue.
godinpants:
i liked hovercar racer.
although it pretty much seemed to me to be harry potter, but replacing wizards with racing kids.
elcapitan:
I picked up Hovercar Racer in a bookshop once.
An author who actually writes "ZOOOOOOOM!!" in full seriousness not only deserves not to sell, he deserves to be publicly castrated and then shot.

come on, give him a break. surely it couldn't be in all seriousness and surely he doesn't consider his work high literature. they're pure fluff and he knows it. but he can write a page turner and in certain situations that can be great. this shouldn't be held to the same standards as actual literature. it's fun, almost lame action comic book-ey.

I agree with that. He's like the Dragonball Z of novels. Fluffy, not too much plot or character development, and yet completely awesome.
