Book Reviews of ExcavationBook Review: Characters please - not cartoons Summary: 2 Stars Ever read a book that just screamed - "Make this into a movie that teen age boys will go see?" Heavy on action, quick paced plot and characters drawn with crayon... oh and the perfect hollywood action flick ending.
If anyone else has read the book... Maggie's seizures... dehabilitating and then they disappear, completely gone "poof".
Oh, and the bad guys? Well, nobody ever expects them ;-)
Not even a twinge of piety? - and the sadistic drooling torturer - geez! "Central casting... big guy, balding, big belly - leacherous looking would be good... just for one scene - oh, would be good if he was comfortable around pyrotechnics"
Save a few bucks - wait for the movie - or maybe just the DVD.
