Title: Light on Story, Heavy on Politics
Review: I went from Rice & Salt directly to FSoR. I'd agree with most of what the other lukewarm reviews say.The only thing I would add is that i don't read science fiction to be beaten over the head with a political agenda. The not-so-subtle jabs at what would seem to be conservative beliefs were not offensive to me, but did detract significantly from the story.It is one thing to have some characters believe in a particular political position, it is quite another when every character does. That's not interesting, it's just dull.
