A review by mbettelheim
Looking Glass by Andrew Mayne

4.0

This is good mindless fun - like The DaVanci Code of science thrillers. Staking out a drainage culvert and raccoons show up in a matter of minutes? Having a rich friend on speed dial who can bail you out in a matter of hours? Seems to be a lot of deus ex machina for a book about science; I'd like to see a little more MacGyver ex machine driving these plots. And is there any field of science he hasn't dabbled in? Nevertheless, all of the above aside, I still read it cover to cover and enjoyed it for the mindless entertainment it was.
