Review: Brave new world?
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 03 4, 2012
Having read most of Ms Schneider's other books, I had a fairly good idea what I would encounter - a very intelligent and highly capable, if slightly quirky heroine, problems that demanded her considerable brainpower, some light romantic interest and amusing sidekicks. All there. However, the setting - a futuristic "brave new world" of idealistic scientists trying to create a model community somewhere in the New Mexico desert - really appealed to me. Would love to visit. Very much recommend the book, but only four stars as I want more - it feels like a slightly fleshed-out novella and some of the "filler" could have been edited down. Would like to mention that the author's language and editing is just about flawless, I only noticed one miss throughout, for the price it is definitely value for money.
