Just finished 'Beggars in Spain' by Nancy Kress. I liked the premise, but felt it was not developed very well. Some of the science seemed off to me, and the 'plot' was prioritized over the 'characters.' It felt like a first draft that could have been amazing with some depth/editing. I'm thinking of going for 'Last Night in Twisted River' next. It is loooong, and I have been reading more short stuff lately to try and get through my to-read pile. Time for something different.
