Review title: A large book with no substance
Product review: This was the first book I have read by this author and this is the first review I have written on any book. I suffered through most of this book though some of it was tolerable. The author rambles through many passages. This story could have been told in a hundred pages. I do not see how this book was considered for a Hugo. Spin won and The Algebraist is not nearly as well written nor is it in the same league with any Hugo winner that I can think of - and I have read most of 'em. Sorry to offend those that do like this story including someone( I doubt there could be many) at Amazon who thought this was a good book. I think I would have a hard time choosing another book by this author as my view of his writing is now tainted.
