However, the book comes up with a plain character development, and there is no depth to the people. And although the author has a plethora of technical facts to weigh the book, there is still something missing there – the interactions, the not so obvious endings.<br />That said, it is worthy of attention because the environmental awareness that the book provokes, and the ethical revision of our position towards our environment.</p> Mon, 31 Jul 2006 15:28:02 GMT http://www.allconsuming.net/entry/view/31081 nobody@allconsuming.net (manino) <div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/25482"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0812579895.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div class="ac-title" style="font-weight:bold;font-size:14px;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/25482">The Precipice (The Grand Tour; also Asteroid Wars)</a></div><div class="ac-creator">by Ben Bova</div><br clear="all" /><p>Not good.
