Deprived and confused, 19 Nov 2009
By James L. Woolridge "Wooly in PSL, FL." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deprivers (Hardcover)
Steven-Elliot Altman can never decide what direction the book should go. So we get sci-fi, social statements, intrigue, and on and on and repeat. I started the book and thought, oh, so cool, but that was replaced as I continued with oh, here we go. Way too confusing. The authur can write but the message in this one isn't consistant.

X Men Meets the Fugitive, 25 Mar 2004
By P. O'Rourke "Patrick T. O'Rourke" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deprivers (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is classic X-Men, you just need to substitute the word "Depriver" for "Mutant." Actually, the mutation is that in near future some people will develop the ability to deprive other of particular senses (sight, taste, balance) by touch. Once the government finds out about it, they want to pass registration acts and require deprivers to wear gloves. Like I said, its X-Men Revisted.In part two of the book, a "normal" who married a depriver is on a quest to find out who killed his wife. Again, this strikes me as straight out of the Fugitive.
The derivative nature of this book notwithstanding, it's not a bad read. The pace moves quickly and some of the characters are moderately interesting. Makes a good book to read on a plane.

Deprivers will infect your dreams, 16 Dec 2003
By R. Andrew Heidel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Deprivers (Mass Market Paperback)
Steven-Elliot Altman's Deprivers is as frightening as the Hot Zone and reminiscent of the Aids scare of the 80's. Told through compelling characters it seems like it could be true, or right around the next corner.Be careful who you touch. You'll get more than cooties.
Highly Recommended!
