Review of 'The Dark Side of Nowhere' on 'GoodReads'

3 stars

Finally a Schusterman book that does not leave me breathless. This book works as some decent light reading, with some interesting sci-fi ideas but lack-luster prose and shallow character development. If you want a break from the depth and intensity of some of Schusterman's more recent work, this is a decent pick-up book.
