Title: Strong beginning but weak conclusion
Review: Darwin's Radio had a really intriguing start, compelling body, but wimpy conclusion. I really enjoyed the "hard science" and the conflict between politics vs science, but in the final analysis, the characters were boring and very stereotypical -I am referring specifically to Kaye & Mitch. During most of their dialog with each other, I felt as if I was reading something out of a romance novel instead of SciFi. It's a toss up which was more nauseating...Kaye's transformation from an intelligent, educated, prominent woman of science to a mere breeder, or Mitch's sudden change from anthropologist to a he-man, mr. macho type. Get real, Mr. Bear, people do not surrender their individual identities just because they happen to become parents!
