review 1: I really wish that I could give this book five out of five, it was such a great read!But let's start with the bad and the ugly: the one star lost was because at times the book seemed to be preaching about ideals and beliefs (for example, global warming guilt trip) which I felt was out of place. I know Stephen King loves to do that in his latest books and I hate it. I wanted to be entertained 100% and I was entertained 90% of the time. Oh, and the dream sequences could have been edited down in my humble opinion.Now the good: Wow! What a ride! Mather manages to bring us into a complete chaos where humans are reduced to animals and yet he is able to highlight humanity throughout the chapters without reducing everyone to a walking cliché. If you believe that during disaster... mores people come together and resolve to put their differences aside this is not the book for you. If you want to read a story that could have been an almost historical account and shows the best and the worst in humans you are in for quite a thrill.The deus ex machina is thankfully not the device that saves the day. And ultimately the book pays homage to a man, a husband, a father, a friend and most importantly a human being trying to comprehend the extraordinary conditions around him.I am really glad this book was picked up for a motion picture. With all the emo romance dystopia crap that's coming out of Hollywood lately I am hoping that they retain the integrity of the book and present it as the jewel it truly is.
review 2: This book illustrates what an "full-blown" cyber warfare can cause. In a winter storm you hear that a foreign computer code, designed to knock out the U.S. energy grid, has been embedded in power plant control systems and disables NYC while crippling the U.S. and most of the world's economy. This tests humanity and what is left in society once life becomes a challenge for survival. Everyday things you take for granted like water, electricity, and food, are no longer available and you have to scrounge, steal, or kill to get them.With the collapse comes confusion, chaos, conspiracy theories, and paranoia. Realistic and quite frightening!Cyberstorm has a realistic plot and believable characters. A hard book to put down, and this one really makes you think of your world and how fragile it could become in the right or wrong circumstances. less
