review 1: Slightly disappointed. That's how I felt by the end of The Facility. I haven't read Lelic's other two novels but this had an intriguing premise and the first third was strong enough to get me hooked. Unfortunately any mystery in the plot quickly evaporates and from then on the rest of the book feels rushed. Interesting characters like Dr. Silk are woefully unexplored and long sections away from the facility itself detract from the most interesting feature of the tale. Still, it was a fairly quick read, an easy one, and enough for me to get onto Lelic again at some point to see what else he's got rattling around in the old brain box.
review 2: Hmm, bit of a strange book this one. The plot was great (as was the plot of Lelic's previous novel, Rupture), but someh... moreow it seemed lacking in suspense. Much of the book was concerned with the goings on within the Facility itself. I think more could have been made of the plot which concerned the actual hunt for the Facility. It seemed as if the book ran out of steam before the end, and for me, this was disappointing, as it had been such a promising storyline. I still enjoyed the book, but I can't help but feeling that it could have been better written. less
