This book was pretty average, really. The conspiracies were overdone and cliched and the characters weren't really believable. Having said that, I certainly wouldn't put it past our governments to do these kinds of things. The most worrying thing for me, though, is that, while most of my being cries out in outrage at the thought of carrying out such a monstrous act, a small part of me can see the logic behind it. Does this make me a monster? Who knows? ( )
