I really, truly, absolutely did NOT enjoy this novel! Very imaginative, but somewhat 'over the top'.

I rated it 1/2 star because that is the lowest rating available.

There are only two novels of the 100 that have won a Hugo or Nebula (up to 2020) that I would rate EVEN worse. These lowest of the low are They'd rather Be Right and Three Body Problem.

My rating system: I begin with one star being equivalent to a rating of "C -". Progressing upwards, I add ½ star for each step, up to the maximum 5 stars, which is equivalent to a rating of "A"+. I reserve ½ star for BOMBS, there being no option of zero or negative stars.
