Another Novel That Fails to Live Up to the Hype
3 izar
There are many glimmers of brilliance in this novel. The philosophical themes are prominent but obvious and lacking the depth needed to make an emotional impact. The characters are nuanced enough to tell them apart and give them personalities with which to fall in step beside, but I never once cared what happened to Kathy or Tommy or Ruth. The sci-fi elements are subdued, falling behind the themes of destiny and fulfillment. The prose is serviceable but nothing worth praising. Much like Klara and the Sun, I neither understand the hype nor believe it offers anything profound to speculative fiction as a whole. While not a terrible book, I stopped reading around the 50% mark.
