Title: UGH!
Product review: Could somebody please explain to my why so many of David Brin's novels fail to get interesting until about page 450?I loved the first Uplift Trilogy. I couldn't put it down. Brightness Reef is far from what I expect from Brin. It's slow and choppy and a real chore to finish.I will say that there are a couple of things I do like: I like Brin's ability to create such vivid creatures from so many possible evolutionary paths. In the past his work has been very inspirational to my artwork.The drawbacks of this novel far outweigh the positives, however, and I am only finishing this novel because I have heard the second of this trilogy is very good. This book is boring as heck, however.If you do read Brightness Reef, be prepared for the process to take a couple months and don't be surprised if you find yourself reading (and finishing) several other books before you are done with this one.
