Psybre (USA: IA) (2006/10/23):
Being already an avid fan of Greg Bear perhaps taints my review of this magnificant examination of punishment as a tool for social cohesion. I agree with Mark L. Irons who says, "Bear is firing on all cylinders for the first time since Blood Music." Diverse writing styles for different characters in different "states of being/thinking" were wonderful. A particular approach to language in explaining psychotropic-like scenes, perhaps not as poetic as Zelazny, but with a unique voice, was quite pleasant. As I do not rate books, I can only strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in one of the following: psychiatry, punishment, neurology, the Dominican Republic or Haiti, social class division by choice, writing, good literature. Readers especially averse to literature involving a lot of science and science-related topics might wish to avoid this novel.
