I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this book. Is it a love story? Or is it Sci Fi? It is definitely a love story that happens within a science fiction story, but most of all it’s a satire. The author has taken some current events (such as the banning of smoking in public places) and exaggerated such into epic proportions. I appreciated the humor, but I imagine that there are readers that don’t agree with Rollins’ viewpoints and therefore struggle with the content of this story. That is a risk in all science fiction stories of course.I enjoyed the story. Except for a few grammatical and spelling errors, it was an easy, quick read. Considering the almost ridiculous lengths to which the author uses satire, I think the novel could have actually been shorter. I got a bit tired of the same ‘jokes’ returning. Like any good satire, there is a morale to the story (which I can’t divulge without giving away the story) that I very much appreciate.I recommend this book to readers that enjoy a bit of tongue in cheek humor.
