This book had an interesting premise, but once several of the main characters find themselves in a “ghetto” it gets beyond racist. At first I skipped over sentences and soon it became chunks. I was trying to make the book still work, meaning was the story lost if I wasn't reading these parts? And while the plot worked just fine using this technique, I realized I didn't even want the book on my bedside table.
I'm not even going to give Carrion Comfort the old, it was written in the 80's excuse. Dan Simmons is clearly a racist, it wouldn't come to him to write this way if he wasn't.
If I could give it zero stars I would.
