A strange book, with oodles of ideas and concepts packed into a plot that can hardly contain them all. And yet, I kept coming back to find out what happened next, which makes this a winner for me. Get ready for a ride!

Funny and enjoyable antics from an interstellar news company, which is something that I've not seen done before (and this is from the '90s!). That said, the writing on a line-by-line basis overlabors jokes too much for my liking -- have you ever seen ...more

I'm not a Hunger Games superfan, but I did enjoy the original trilogy, so I picked this up as I generally like and appreciate prequels. Well, this wasn't my favorite, but it did do a good job in telling the sad backstory of Haymitch Abernathy. There w ...more

3.5 stars. As a novel by Spider Robinson based on an outline left by Robert A. Heinlein, this held up pretty well, though (by design) it has more of the feel of a Spider Robinson novel vs. a Heinlein novel. But I'm a fan of both authors (Spider more ...more
