Helpful Score: 3
I read somewhere that this was not as good as some of her others and that it was too depressing. I actually really like this one as it took off with another of Butler's very original ideas, while still being tied to the other earlier Patternist series books. I think most if not all of her books are rather depressing, but interesting anyway. I think the depressing aspect springs from her work being largely social commentary. I love her writing.
