Question: Is this product review positive? Title: Wonderful continuation to an outstanding series Review: After enjoying City of Pearl,I was looking forward to reading Crossing the Line, and I was not disappointed in the slightest!Having said that, please be aware that this is part of a planned 6-book series, and it would be very desirable to read at least the first two in order for full appreciation. They do NOT, however, end on cliffhangers, which I consider an unforgivable sin.The book's plot is interesting enough, but for me the characters are what make it rise above the norm. Each faces a number of ethical situations in which "crossing the line" in some way or other is an appropriate metaphor. Eddie the journalist must decide where his professional lines should be drawn; Shan must decide where her allegiance and her love belong; and Aras must decide where his destiny lies.Locus compares Traviss to LeGuin, Bujold, and Asaro. Traviss shows some of the strengths of each of these writers, a very delicious blend.Now, for me, on to The World Before! Answer:
Answer: Yes

Question: Is this product review positive? Title: I beg to differ. Review: "People seem to have expected either 1) an in depth scientific or sociological explication of 'why' people believe certain phenomenon; or 2) an academic paper, complete with lengthy citation, thesis statement, and that `in-your-face' style that one can only find in a paper in the CV of a PhD. Ladies and Gentlemen, you cannot do either of the above in 300 pages."Really? A copy of my dissertation was deposited in a basement room of the university library. When I went to visit it there, I thumbed through a fair number of fellow inmates. I don't recall even one approaching, let alone exceeding, three hundred pages. (Mine had two hundred pages; some had as few as thirty.) Scholarly papers published in academic journals are of course, as a rule, much shorter than dissertations.In any case, some of us were hoping for something a bit less off-the-cuff, a bit less slaphappy, not necessarily "scholarly". That's all. Answer:
