Review of 'Earth' on 'Goodreads'

It started off with an incredible premise and contains some truly excellent writing. Unfortunately it suffers from the author trying to do too much. There is considerable extraneous material that was likely intended to give additional points of view, but in the end only annoys the reader with the break in the flow of the primary story.

Review of 'Earth' on 'Goodreads'

A solid work of speculative near-future sci fi, but somehow I had a hard time staying interested in it. It's somewhat dated now and the environmentalism feels heavy-handed. I found the number of different characters and narrative threads annoying, even though they were skillfully written and came together satisfyingly at the end.
