• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.5

I love the world building and how I can remember all of the characters throughout the book. The casual racism in the book was hard for me but I understand this was written in the late 70s so some of it is a product of the time. I thought that the climax was a bit rushed tbh. But damn, what a great pandemic story.
