(Anonymous) 2014-01-14 12:28 am (UTC)(link)Ehhhh, IDK, it's one of those "It's not you, it's me" things. I just can't get into Brin. Try as I did (I read loads of his stuff in the '90s), his writing overall just doesn't grab me. I can't recall offhand specific things about the book(s--originally it was two novellas) that I actively disliked; I just find everything I've read by Brin to be dull. Which isn't a reflection on his writing (which is good), it's just my own personal taste. *shrug*
Sorry I can't give direct examples. I very very remember reading the first novella/part in an old magazine I bought in a secondhand bookstore in the late 80s, but can't recall specifically what it was about the book, other than having to struggle to finish it.
Which is something I've found with all of Brin's work that I've read. For whatever reason, my brain just thinks his style of writing is unbearably dull (even though it isn't).
