Title: Unreadable
Review: I've read a minimum of several hundred books in my lifetime and I'm sure I could count on one hand the ones I couldn't finish. This book was one of those few. It's not a story so much as a seemingly endless series of 'scenes' in what appears to be a chronology of sorts. The problem is that there is absolutely no continuity or narrative thread. Nothing tying the characters or plot together (at least not in the approximately one-third of the book I slogged through). My other major objection is Mr. Turtledove's copious use of a particular racial epithet commonly called "the 'N' word." I don't generally object to the use of such language if it advances plot or character development, but Mr. Turtledove sprinkles this word around with such abandon that I have to wonder if he has some underlying motive. This book might make the bestseller list in the Hillbilly Weekly Standard but I found it to be a pointless bore.
