  “I needed some fiction after that one and picked this up in the airport in Amsterdam. The subtitle “It’s The Biggest Story in History” set the stage. Pretty good – especially if you are curious about how a weatherman (Bill Evans) would construct a novel about the world’s worst storm and the evil genius that creates it as it is about to wipe out New York City. Good mental floss.”

  “CATEGORY 7 is an enjoyable weather-based thriller, although it took me awhile to get into the story, due to all of the unfamiliar terms. Once I got through it, though, I found myself immersed in the story.
  
  The basics: a meglomaniac decides to take revenge on the President by using his creation, the ability to control the weather, to send a massive Category 7 hurricane towards New York City. Panic and devastation ensue, and it's up to a small-town weather reporter and a CIA operative to stop both the hurricane and the bad guy.
  
  Like I said, this really is an entertaining and enjoyable thriller, and once you learn the weather-related jargon, you'll be in for a really good story.”

  “A disappointing story. I had trouble keeping all the characters straight, and somehow the promised "blowout" didn't really come across to me.”

  “For awhile, I thought this book was so bad it was good, but toward the end, I just found it to be too ridiculous to even consider a guilty pleasure. Quick note on the rating: I'd give it one star if I weren't such a weather geek....”

  “A far fetched story that is not too easy to follow at points. Picturing the destruction of NYC and most of the east coast is diffficult at best.”
