Finished Authority - that took eons... not, shall we say, the best sequel I ever read.

I recently rewatched the movie, which gave me a taste for a reread. It's interesting how different the book version of the biologist is - she's... harsher, more clinical, to some extent misanthropic. Especially the sections relating to the husband are complete opposite to the movie's tone. In comparison, Natalie Portman's version seems... a bit Hollywood "likeable female character".
