Not for SF fans, its soft core & for neophytes

Rating: 7/10 (6 September 2002)

This is the first thing of Night's which I didn't get a big thrill from and I know why. If you look in the main line novels sections of the book stores you can find a lot of soft core science fiction. It is definately SF but it isn't being marketed as that. Seems that the publishers are slowly finding out if you don't call something science fiction that a lot of people will read it and like it if they soft peddle it enough. Signs is definately soft core and will have a broader range of sales that just SF fans, but for the same reason it was NOT for me in the least. It was Independence Day for the faint of heart and not my thing at all.
