having checked the novel out of my local library (sorry to everyone looking for it in the alexandria public library system, i have the only copy) i've noticed that, given the due date, i'm likely to finish this novel with just enough time to forget it completely before the meeting. perfect.
It took me about six hours to read this book, cover to cover. I paced myself, because I fell instantly in love with it. I enjoyed it very much, looking forward to the discussion, if I ever remember to attend, that is.
@tetracycloide: Actually we've partnered with Borders's scifi blog Babel Clash for our book club. It's not a commercial relationship, though. We're just linking to each other.
Nothing personal, but I think I'll have to pass on this one. It sounds like a good book, but I'm tired of "coming-of-age" stories right now. Seems like a lot of books, movies and TV shows lately have been coming-of-age stories (Juno, Harry Potter, Twilight, Heroes to some extent, etc.).
@TemporalSword: twilight and heroes are coming-of-age stories? you could have fooled me, all the characters, adults included, seem as childish and self-centered at the end as they did at the beginning.
@TemporalSword: This book is a pretty unusual version of that sort of story. It is most emphatically NOT for kids. I mean, it's a coming-of-age story if you consider The Hobbit to be a coming-of-age story.
@Annalee Newitz: I really didn't consider this a coming of age story. I mean, it has that element, but it is much more complex. And it doesn't really fit into any of the stereotypes that people have tried to fit on it.
I loved it. And I was extremely skeptical going in.
