Re:Ilium.

[Hobbex]

My problem with Illium is that you just can't see exactly where it's going.

Yeah, I always hate that in a book!

Re:Typo - not

[tanguyr]

That's ridiculous! This is science fiction, why can't they announce the winners of next year's competition?

Cookie Monster

[Zorilla]

The Cookie Monster, Vernor Vinge: This is an interesting and technically complex story. It's plausible and well-told, but it really lacks character development IMHO. Guess the competition was thin in the "novella" category or the tech talk swayed the fans.

Yeah, the main character would have been more deeply depicted had he not been busy saying, "COOOOOKIIEE!! MMNOMMNOMMMMNOMMN!" This is even more justification for Nabisco to host his next intervention.

What? No Firefly?

I call conspiracy.
