Forty Signs of Rain by Kim Stanley Robinson could easily have been titled Forty Winks Are About to Arrive!
Having been disappointed with The Mars Trilogy, I should really have been more prepared for another science lesson with little plot to speak of. The topic is certainly a thought provoking one, especially as Storm Harvey has just hit Texas leaving many people waiting for the emergency services. Unfortunately, this book just doesn't seem to inspire anything other than an unpremeditated snooze.
Let's hope that Hear the Wind Sing by Haruki Murakami keeps me more awake!
