kilroyQueen of Angels by Greg Bear: This is again in that category of "too clever by half" fiction. It's also channeling Blade Runner in a way which made me go out and finally get a copy of Blade Runner. Pass.
Voyage by Stephen Baxter: My dad gave me this one, and I can see why. It's an 800 page book full of historical details, which he loves; if it were a 350 page book, I'd probably love it too. As it is I know I couldn't actually finish.
Verdict: Recycle. (17.5/52 keepers)
Page count: 40 (10182 total)
Completed: 28 (14 female authors, 14 male authors)
Rejected: 24 (14 male authors, 10 female authors)
Next book due: 9/21
