Title: Great comedy by a great writer
Review: Connie Willis just became one of my favorite authors. I've read and loved Lincoln's Dreams, To Say Nothing of the Dog, Doomsday Book, and now Bellwether. I recommend them all.Bellwether is clever and biting satire. It's a wonderful comedy featuring a few sane and balanced people trying to survive in a world of incompetent, sheep-like trend followers. That they find love amongst this chaos and develop a thought-provoking hypothesis about scientific discovery makes this novel additionally a love story and science fiction -- added bonuses for us readers!This is not science fiction as some may normally think of science fiction. It's a light-hearted social satire, love story, and comedy that takes place in an environment of scientific research. It's well-written, with a great plot and great characters. I can't imagine who would not like this book!Which of Ms. Willis' books will I read next? I don't know, but I can't wait.
