Title: Couldn't Finish
Review: I loved A Fire Upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky, so I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, Vinge bobbles the ball with flat, uninteresting and unsympathetic characters. The world envisioned isn't all that strange from a technical perspective (which is fine), but it is also characterized by a nearly unrelenting nastiness. I don't have a big problem with that, as it isn't too far off from the way reality is headed, but without anyone I care about to make the journey with, it simply isn't worth the time.
