velarislibrarian's review against another edition
The main character wasn’t likeable- she didn’t feel fitting. She is a scientist in the 60’s but rants like a 2023 hardcore feminist, which is grating.
I don’t have a problem reading about it… if that’s what I am expecting? I felt like I was hoodwinked with this book. It’s not at all what it says on the tin. Really disappointed and a bit annoyed.

The negative: It is very black and white, and I miss the nuances which could have brought this book to a higher level. The agenda of what is "right and wrong" is so strongly pushed forward and rigid that there is no/barely room for character development. Personally, I hate every single human character in the book; I absolutely loved 6.30! Even though I loved the dog, those parts did feel like a different book or genre. Lastly, some sections felt like the book would start a twist or important story arc, but with a paragraph or two pages, it was already solved. This did feel as if big parts were cut out of the book during editing. I understand that it is an ingrained part of writing but it did feel too abrupt.
