Negative Positive
Title: A tiring read
Review: I was actually rather dissapointed in this book, especially after how much hype seemed to surround it.David Brin seems to take on much more than he can chew in 'Startide Rising'.. he ends up following about 10 threads, and doesn't do any of them justice... his story lacks almost any good characterization and his imagination of science (fiction) in general seems weak.I had a very hard time bringing myself to actually finish this book...
Is the review positive or negative?
