A review by joyfulfoodie
The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee
Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.
Did not finish. I read about 3% and honestly was easy to quit after the intro. Two things bugged me: the incest (which everyone is mentioning in their negative reviews) and the “it takes 3 minutes to fall off a 1000 story building”. It took me four seconds on google to verify my gut that this math is wrong. A few longer to get an estimate of actual time (25 seconds if no terminal velocity, which obviously matters, and still less than a minute with terminal velocity.) If they can’t get that kind of basic detail right and they don’t bother to even attempt to throw some futuristic “well the force fields every twenty floors slow the fall to an agonizing pace so we have more time to contemplate our imminent death” then I really see no hope.
Note; I hate quitting books, I will leave them on my currently reading list for YEARS.
