Review of 'Next' on 'Goodreads'

A collection of loosely related short stories clumsily cobbled together.

Good:
Raises valid concerns about genetic engineering and US patent law.

Bad:
 Most characters appear morally wrong for no good reason. It detracts from valid criticism of corporate wrongdoers if all characters are adulterers & chauvinists.
Ending is unbelievable.
 There's almost no narrative structure to the novel.
* It should have been an essay.

Tematy

  • Fiction, suspense
