A review by jopalm
Extinction Point by Paul Antony Jones
3.0
Would I pay money for this? no. Was it a good free read with Amazon Prime? yes.
The basic premise of this novel is great, with original ideas thrown in with some old worn out ones. I enjoyed reading it through and have gone on to read the other three in the series but only because I have not paid for them.
The curiosity of what our world could be like encouraged me to keep going and the story moves briskly forward (to quickly in places). But the style of writing can be off putting in places. Sometimes far to much detail (I don't need to know each time she puts her bike lock on) and in others not enough (earth shattering,traumatic event but lets move quickly on).
The main character can be more than a little unbelievable at times, what reporter would not be snapping images with her mobile or remember she had one only the next day.
So 3* given for a free read but would have been 2* if paid for.
