Title: Darwin's Radio
Review: I bought this book because I heard a fascinating discussion of its thesis on NPR. I'm also an avid, and very particular, reader of speculative fiction. I was disappointed. The science, while prodigious, was muddled; the plot was scattershot and badly developed; the characters were introduced intriguingly, then thinned to the level of parchment. The ending seemed as though it had been rushed by a publishing house ravenous for a quick, best-seller buck. I think its only value is to provoke interesting discussions on literate talk shows. How disappointed was I? Enough to write a review for Amazon.com, which I've never considered doing, before this. Don't buy this book. If you're curious, borrow it from the library.
