Probably too much.<br /><br />But here is a bit more *rolls eyes*.<br /><br />This was a good series by an author I adored. But she blew it in the last few pages.

Like I recently read Paolo Bagigalupi's short story <i>Pop Squad</i>, set in the future where it's illegal to reproduce (because everyone is practically immortal), so the protag's job is to kill children. Pretty offensive. Yet, the character does have a conscious, starts to wonder why exactly do women (and men) continue trying to have kids, and even spares the life of one woman and her child. <br /><br />But yeah, I'm moreso annoyed when the author 'cops out' or fails to develop the character.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073344742586893980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4393512822627120580.post-23019876679213794732011-12-30T19:19:18.419-06:002011-12-30T19:19:18.419-06:00That's totally not a good thing...

I just finished a book by a well-...I can so relate. I just finished a book by a well-known author which I really liked a lot except for one thing. The main character didn't change at all. She ran from stuff at the start of the story and she ran at the end. Worse yet, I never found out why. Everything else about the book was lovely but because the character never evolved/changed, I was disappointed.mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.com
