Book review: Barb Wire by Neal Barrett Jr

This is a really cheap book. Its almost like they didn’t bother to proof read it. When was the last time you read a book with two chapter 11s?

The story itself is quite disposable, generic sci-fi, it doesn’t have anything to recommend it, but equally, its not totally appalling. It doesn’t seem to correspond that well with what I remember of the film, but I’m not sure I remember the film being anything other than an excuse for footage of Pamela Anderson.

All things considered, you’ve got better things to do than read this book.

      • But in a poll – *other* people might think it was applicable, it even if you didn’t think it was an option!

        Nonetheless, *I* think you should burn it, and that’s saying something. Ask what I think about people who are naughty to books!!

        • Hehehe, a friend of mine keeps talking about organising a book-burning party, which sounds like a fabulous idea just because it is deeply wrong.
