Falling in Love with Hominids by Nalo Hopkinson

4.0

Hot damn, that Nalo Hopkinson is a good writer. I received this title as an ARC from netgalley and it was my first experience with Ms. Hopkinson's writing. From the first story, I was hooked. She is so very original, I mean stop-you-in-you-tracks original with her ideas and she crafts them meticulously. I'm not usually the biggest fan of short story collections. Generally, they either have such promise with too little payoff or feel like too little story to merit the pages. But these stories seem well crafted for their size. Enough to build the (always) fascinating world without leaving you feeling like the story is unfinished. I absolutely love how she simply throws the reader into a story line. There is no chance to question or doubt, you either accept the world or you best move on. So very good, I devoured this book in no time.
