Title: Juvenile
Product review: Given the Hugo nomination and others' reviews, I expected more from this book. Some time is spent developing the main character, but most of the other players are bland, colourless props. The science is interesting, but I frankly did not care what happened to anyone. Good character development and a well-developed plot need not be sacrificed on the altar of Science, as shown by such authors as Mary Doria Russel and Michael Swanwick.
