Negative Positive
Title: intriguing yet relaxing read
Review: This is not science fiction as we know it. It explained to me the bellwether phenomenon, which I was not aware of. I think that most of the conclusions in this novel are actually true. It is a very fast read and the story is enclosed in a relatively short form. The book is written from the point of view of a scientist who does research on fads in a big institute (the institute resembles rather a corporation to me, not a scientific environment I am used to, but, after all, the "science fiction" tag gives the author some room here). The research, although it seems to go completely wrong at the beginning, is a big success at the end. Sandra, the main protagonist, couples forces (and falls in love; the love story is funny, too) with another scientist, Bennett, who works on chaos theory. The solution of the problem involves some sheep and an incredibly messy mail clerk. Good laugh, entertaining with a twist (it can actually make the reader stop and think for a moment).
