Book Report: The Andromeda Strain

[PogromStallone]

I liked the idea of it but the execution felt very clinical. Like reading a long Wikipedia page. 2/5.

@fenrir I started reading Presumed Innocent only to realize that I'd seen the film. Are the other books in the series any good?

I suspect Fatrick saw this movie, where only the crying child and town drunk survived and followed the way.

The Original movie was good and the remake wasn't. We knew how to make media in the 70s/80s. WWAW 38 special

I remember thinking the decontamination scene went on for way to long, and was detailed enough to count as a fetish.

The first three in the Kindle County series are good. I haven't read the others. The Burden of Proof is probably a good place to start next. It's revolves around Rusty's lawyer from Presumed Innocent so it goes more in depth into his character and his thought processes as a defense attorney.

I've just been on a kick lately and most of the books I've read are only around 300-400 pages.
