darumachan 's review for:

Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller
DID NOT FINISH: 50%
This was an incredibly frustrating read for me. Based on the synopsis and cover design, I assumed two things: (1) there would be some really exciting eco-horror/adventure happening, and (2) the author either identified as indigenous or at least had done his research. Unfortunately, I was wrong about both. The whole idea of the "neo-inuit" culture turned out to be extremely superficial, and based on Miller's own discussions of the book on his site and in interviews, his interests and expertise lie elsewhere.
