Title: Watts' Debut Novel an Incredible Read
Product review: _Starfish_ was a great book! The day my order arrived in the mail, I sat down to start reading and I did not get up until the book was done. Peter Watts does a great job here of setting up a believable group of misfits, biologically enhanced so they can survive underwater and at great depths. Through some trial-and-error, it is discovered that only those who have some sort of mental imbalance can survive in such a hostile atmosphere. Coupled with the marvelous descriptions of the weird and grotesque life forms which thrive in the deep, this novel really creates a grim, believable portrait of the world. About the only drawback I noted was the conclusion, which, ironically, one of the other reviewers holds up as the book's high point. I'm looking forward to more thoughtful science fiction from Mr. Watts.
