I'm reading my way through all the Hugo Best Novel Winners. They're not all great, and for me, this is one of the duds. Too much telling, not enough showing. Bland, workmanlike prose. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd read it in high school. I was a lot more tolerant of mediocre writing back then, and I'd be a lot more impress because OMG they r nekkid LOL! Maybe the rest of the Riverworld stuff is better... one can only hope.
