Utopia , by Lincoln Child. A sprawling, near-future thriller, Utopia is a beach read on steroids. Set in a state of the art amusement park, Utopia concerns the terroristic threats of a group determined to take control of the park's cutting-edge holographic technology. While it remains an entertaining and enjoyable read, it's a bit too bloated for my taste. It shouldn't have taken more than 300 pages at best to tell this 500+ page story. This caveat aside, fans of robotics, amusement parks and heist films should enjoy this.
