Title: nothing special
Review: I went into reading SLAN perfectly aware of its age and inevitable naivete, and on that level it was fine. There's something charming about reading the past's view of the future.On the story and writing levels, however, I found this book terribly ordinary. I had just read Alfred Bester's DEMOLITION MAN prior to SLAN, and Bester's flair for writing and diction are far superior.If you have more books you'd like to read than you have hours in the day, pass this one for someting a bit more substantial.
