Just going to say: hate when the library doesn't have what you want as I do love to put my tax dollars to good use. This morning I managed to snag a just-released book off our "hot reads" shelf, which is for new and very popular books with long reserve lists; there's one title that is for those who wander in and get lucky becasue it's on the shelf. First come, first-served and all that. I was going to buy it, but now I don't have to.<br /><br />As for "The Ovary Wars," the concept is so intriguing -- it could be a new form of warfare.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466718928070335936.post-2624763123324448662010-04-29T18:28:28.070-04:002010-04-29T18:28:28.070-04:00Thanks for the tip, Liz.

I must have had a bunch of other books at the same time, because I'm pretty sure I never even started it. At least the plot doesn't sound very familiar... I'm thinking I can leave it too, after your review. I too, go crazy when a plot makes no sense whatsoever, or when a twist defies credulity (such as someone not using their cellphone to call for help, or something). As a scientist, I think you'd enjoy "Ovary Wars" by <a href="http://www.theovarywars.com/about-the-author" rel="nofollow"> Mike Hogan.</a> He creates a very original idea for terrorism: unknowing sterilization of American women by a foreign power. That prevents millions of births a year which leads to destruction of the US economy. There's crimes (drugs, baby selling, selling of fertility lists), the FBI, ruthless types being ruthless. Quite enjoyable -- and I loved the premise.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.com
