fastfinge reviewed Codgerspace by Alan Dean Foster
Review of 'Codgerspace' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This is not a particularly excelent book, but it's not a bad one, either. The plot gets off to an extremely slow start, sounding at first more like a history[return]text than anything else. Then it goes through several side characters before getting on to introducing the main plot of the book. The AI revolt plot that[return]was so carefully developed is then completely cast aside in favour of an alien artifact plot. It felt somewhat abrupt to me. However, the writing is good,[return]the characters are okay, and the story is interesting. While it's not all that good of a book, it's not bad, either.
