A review by heliopteryx
Blood Music by Greg Bear
3.5
This book goes in a very different direction than the novella of the same name, which you can read for free on the publisher's website if you wish to compare.
The beginning of the novel version definitely has too much filler, in my opinion. You could skip straight to chapter 7 and not miss anything important. Up to that point, this book introduces Vergil, the pathetic scientist guy who breaks every lab safety rule. As a real world scientist, these kinds of stories are just painful to read, haha. But after that, the story really picks up.
