A review by mjfmjfmjf
Kiln People by David Brin

4.0

A re-read. And better than I remember but also bigger and slower and more complicated. I'm also more accepting of Brin's generally not good endings - maybe because I expect less. I read this for a business trip I took to DC. Usually I'd expect to read a book on the flight each way and a book during the trip. But for this trip it ended up being just this one. Maybe I'm reading slower, maybe I'm not focusing as well. Or maybe it was the complexity of this book.

Basically this book is a detective book with a lot of ideas and twists, and a few more twists than it really needs. And with Brin's trademark one twist too far ending.

But the characters are always interesting and the version of daily clones enough different from everything else I've seen.
