User blog comment:Drgyen/Book Review: Resistance: A Hole in the Sky/@comment-149.106.192.131-20111114193127

I thought the book was atrocious--its only real value is as an approximation of how many cliches one can stuff into a video-game tie-in and get away with it. The writing is mostly colorless, and the author does not have the artifice to be consistently novel, prevent the use of anachronisms, or even to enlarge his pitiful vocabulary with a thesaurus. He has no sense of connotation, with many words being laughably out of place. Do not get me wrong--I adore Resistance. I just think that whoever was responsible for hiring Mr. Dietz should have looked at the horrible reviews his other books have gotten on Amazon.
