Sometimes even the strongest characters can have faults that ruin parts a book. Such is the case with Rachel Kirby. I understand the bond between siblings. But this character is over the top when it comes to her sister Allie. And it can be annoying. Dedication is one thing, but obsession is another. The unfortunate part is that storm Cycle is a really good book. At least a four star if not five if it just didn't have this one thing that brings it down. Shame really. When I began to read Storm Cycle, I thought I would get lost in computer technology terms and acronyms which I am not very familiar with. I was surprised and excited about the Egyptian hieroglyphic element. I eagerly awaited the outcome of science and technology combined to save a life. At the end of the book I was left wanting.Since the book is a fictional one, I expected a lot more depth in plot and characters. I would recommend this book to those who are the field of medicine and computer science if they want to be encouraged about the importance of such a career.
What do You think about Storm Cycle (2009)?
The Johansens always write suspenseful and exciting books. Enjoy the characters.
