A review by foolish_shane
Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress

2.0

This was a pretty interesting idea, but it was too long and there were too many characters involved. It may have been better left in it's original form as a novella (which I have not read although I believe it may have been the first section of the book and the other sections were added.)

I thought the writing was good, tech/science stuff was cool and believable and my favorite part was probably the Superbrights and the irony of their plight.

So if you're looking to mark this classic off your checklist and you're a slow reader like me, I would probably suggest reading the novella instead and moving on to other classics.
