A review by gullevek
Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delany
2.0
In general I do not trust reviews because the taste of the reviewer might be completely different to mine. But because this book had quite a lot of positive reviews and I wanted to read something Science Fiction I read it.
Complex for the sake of complexity. Boring, utter boring. 90% of the book is pretty much useless writing. There is no story, no progress, just nothing.
The prologue is very interesting and I thought, well that will be a good read, but I was utter wrong. Once the main story starts it is just one long ride downhill. There is a middle part that moves some aspect of a story and the end has a bit if interest, but in general this book is utter boring crap.
If there is one thing I will take away from this book it is that in the future sex is something you do between tasks you need to do. Like getting home quickly, there is always time for a shag.
At the end I just link to this review which describes this book very well: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/96780273?book_show_action=true&page=1
