A review by schellenbergk
Storm by George R. Stewart
This 1941 eco-novel is pretty obviously the progenitor of novels such as Richard Powersѓ?? magnificent ѓ??The Overstoryѓ??, and like that book it does a great job of showing the interconnectedness of everything.
However, itѓ??s also the progenitor of the 1970s batch of disaster movies (such as Towering Inferno and Airport and Earthquake) where characters are introduced, quickly sketched, and just as quickly dispatched. This introduces a strong whiff of melodrama which dates the book.
3.25 stars, rounded down.
