Title: Reading this book was like eating a cardboard box
Review: I typically will give a book 50 to 100 pages to get really interesting. With Sterling I gave it the entire book and what a waste of good ink. I enjoy reading junk mail more than this dribble. I typically enjoy Sterling and think he has done well for the craft - but this is a stinker. The Kid is uni-dimensional, Moses-Moses never reaches his potential to impact the story and Twice-borne rounds out a crew that never really endears the reader to struggle to the next page. The plot wanders around from one disjointed event to another without interest or credibility. I secretly hoped for a flock of flying talking dogs to carry them away from the floating island - anything to add some reality and substance to the plot. Thank death this book is out of print; someone has a brain. Sorry Bru everyone has a bad hair day once in a while.
