A review by rickwren
Evolution by Stephen Baxter

2.0

This was an easy book to set down. Quite frankly, fictionalizing vignettes of our evolutionary forefathers is a mixture of giving protagonist voice along with human motivations to animals (which, unless done very well, is annoying) and scattering plotless segments of dubious credibility. I would rather read National Geographic, or any other nonfiction reporting on evolution than this. I felt the whole time as if I was reading a book crafted toward winning an award, rather than a book crafted to telling a good story.
