Review of 'A Closed and Common Orbit' on 'Goodreads'

I didn't get what the fuss was about Angry Planet, really.. it was a fun read, nice humanist (alienist) SF, but not very deep.

Devoured 300 pages in less than a day. Recommended if the world is getting you down.
(Also, one of the protaginists is a perpetual motion machine and also becomes effectively a pregnant virgin at the end. Funny bone tickled.)
