Title: Not his best
Review: Very difficult to get into. Throughout the book, but particularly in the first section (53 pages,) the author shows how divergent language has become between groups. The difficulty of trying to figure out what the characters are saying may help us understand how the main character feels, but did not allow me to immerse myself in the story.That alone might have set the tone for me and I never got into the story. Part of the problem was developing a whole new world, covering hundreds of years of new history and tying it together with new scientific advancements all in fewer than 300 pages. New characters and concepts are introduced and developed only in the most superficial way. Great ideas, poor development.
