Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds

3.0

This book was confusing as hell. I like sci-fi, but I also like characters, and I felt like everything about this story revolved around being told things. All the characters are pretty bland, in fact I really couldn't tell most of them apart. The story was sort of interesting once I managed to wade through all the stuff to get there. But by that time, I was just so bogged down with everything else that I almost couldn't care anymore. Its an interesting story, but not one that I think I'll be continuing.

Maybe I'm just not smart enough for this much heavy sci-fi. And I'm confused about why this keeps getting called a space opera. I don't even think this is space opera, this is hard sci-fi.
