Generosity: An Enhancement by Richard Powers

1.0

It only took me 4 years to read this book. This book tries to blend two writing styles: fiction and narrative nonfiction. But the writing has irritating effect. Why does everyone have 3 names and 2 nicknames? Why must there be 14 main characters who are all hurting and damaged? Why must sentences be so complex?

Even the topic of this book doesn't wow me. Genetically modifying people? Ok-it's not compelling, at least not written about in this way. Ultimately, I hated this book. It didn't speak to me.
