  Rollback

  by Robert J. Sawyer

  • Rated 3 stars

  Rin wrote:
  I'd actually give it more of a 2.5 than 3 stars. I usually love Robert Sawyer's books; I was disappointed that I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I'm not positive of the reason for this, but I'm fairly certain that these feelings were derived from Don's actions toward the middle of the book.

  by Mike Gilbert

  • Rated 5 stars

  Jared T wrote:

I'll never forget being in my college classroom watching the verdict being read live on TV, and sitting stunned as the majority of my fellow college students cheered (yes, cheered) the verdict. I often wonder how those same people feel today. At the time, I chose not to get caught up in the wave of red...
