esmayrosalyne 's review for:
The Terraformers
by Annalee Newitz
For a book that deals with such interesting concepts and that is supposed to be so delightfully quirky, this was just unforgivably and aggressively boring. I mean, the three distinct parts that make up this book were all crammed full of action, but I just couldn't care less about any of the things that were going on.
The cast of characters (including a sentient moose, robots, an angry cyborg cow, a sentient train and naked molerats) should have been wonderful to follow, but I have rarely felt more apathetic about any characters before. And their interactions and banter was so juvenile, I was cringing the entire way through this book.
The only reason this isn't a 1-star read is because I did like some of the environmental issuss that were discussed and this book is also queer as all get out, so at least there's that.
I really wanted to love this story, but I guess it just wasn't the book for me.
