A review by lauraborkpower
Overthrow by Caleb Crain
1.0
This novel is trying to be a lot of things.
It's a political story about a group of possible-mystics and computer hackers protesting for Occupy; it's also a love story (or a few); it's also a tech-thriller; and it's a courtroom drama. And it's not successful in any of these weird sub-genres.
I didn't like any of the characters and none of their actions felt particularly believable. The historical parts weren't specific or vivid enough to be even informative about the movement and protests, and it wasn't interesting until the last 20 pages (the tech-thriller).
It's just a floundering blah. Don't waste your time.
