Title: I.m unimpressed.
Review: I bought this book from Amazon on the strength of the reviews, and the comparisons of Czernada with Nicola Griffith, Carole Ives Gidman, and other female sci-fi authors whom I admire. I can't figure out what those enthusiastic reviewers were talking about regarding this book. I found the book confusing and overly technological. Halfway through I stopped caring about the fate of the main character, or even feeling the need to have all the mysteries resolved. Far from being written in the feminist sci-fi spirit of Griffith or Gidman, A Thousand Words For Starnger seemed like an imitation of all the bad, techie sci-fi that's on the market. The instituations and people populating Czernada's universe were hopelessly hard to follow. Unless you feel like spending hours puzzling over an unclear, uninvolving book, I'd pass on this one.
