Review of Resonant
Posted: 06 Mar 2023, 17:58
[Following is a volunteer review of "Resonant" by Robert Leet.]
I found this book hard to read. 1 out of 5 - worst books that I read. The mathematical expressions and other scientific jargon used in this book just made it hard to read. The abruptness of the main character walking with someone and than all of sudden is in a Navy hospital. Didn't care for that. The ending of the story felt incomplete as well. Not enough dynamic action for me to keep me interested. It felt a chore finishing this book. Rate this book a 1 on a scale of 1 out of 4 There were so many different characters that when one of them came back I lost track who they were. As for the main antagonist you don't see that person's name till near the end of the book. The book made the Navy as the main enemy, but than later on found it was a single rogue person. Hardly any background of this rogue person, just a brief description from another character who's only there a few times in the book. I guess the best parts of the book is when they talk about the different areas of the country he visited. The scenery of Cal Poly, the smog of LA, the dry inland valleys of California, the expanse of the California Deserts. The Las Vegas casino and going to the Grand Canyon. The small town atmosphere of Marfa, Texas sounded like a typical small town. The description of Boston and the New England area was interesting.
Rate this book on a scale rating of 1 to 5 it's a 1 . the protagonist was just okay nothing special other than he is a mathematician, but acting sort like a spy seems to corny. His romance with that lady in California just so forced in this book it didn't see natural too me. It just looked out of place for this book. Didn't feel any empathy for this character even after the car accident. Only thing did feel sorry for him was that all his friends left him due to different reason. One couple going back to the homeland Poland. The other people left due to there careers and for safety reasons.
You are left hanging in this book when he leaves to meet that lady from California is that permanent and how is that supposed to protect him from the antagonist makes no sense to me. I still don't understand why the antagonist is against the civilian research I'm assuming there against the sonars that the Navy is using in the deep water. Anyway this book is a yawn.
