Summary: Interesting read but...
Review: I enjoyed the first half of this book. I really did. I like alternate reality Sci-Fi and this reminded me of the TV show Sliders. Anyway, the book would be great except the second half starts to preach at the reader about how great the gentle neanderthals are and how wicked, evil, and misguided the human race is. Another thing that gets me is how the Neanderthal society is so advanced. They have only about 150 million people on the entire planet. As a non-agricultural society, how could they spare the manpower necessary for scientific and cultural endeavors. Well apparently they have and grafted high-tech spy-cams on everybody and whiz around in electric cars (cubes) or something. In addition, in a supposedly scientific book that should be erudite and intelligent, you get some surprisingly simple and bad writing. For example, "Then they went upstairs." You think you could come up with a more interesting phrase. Finally, why does the author feel it is necessary to tell the race of each human you meet in the story. He names off the race of each person as they are introduced, such as then they met 'blank' who was white. Then they met 'blank' who was black and so on. I don't care about their race. Just tell a good sci-fi tale. This story starts out promising but is reduced to a thinly veiled attempt at criticizing everything about human history. If you want good sci-fi, read something else.

Summary: Done in 4 chapters
Review: When a smart, intelligent woman gets raped on a college campus, and then suddenly decides NOT to tell the police, the book gets put back. I have no time for writers who dumb down their women.
