Queen of Angels

Rating:
Summary: Superb
Review: When science fiction is at it's best, it usually is a social commentary of the future. This is such a book and it one of the best commentaries you will find any time soon. A poet in the near future commits a gruesome murder and from there the story plot turns. Three seperate methods are used to examine why he did the murder and Bear does a wonderfull job of exploring the underlying social standards that each represents. The book is full of technology that seems far out by todays standards. If you read carefully, the underlining story is not far off of what could happen. This is a story about crime, punishment, and rehabilitation. This book can be read two seperate ways. One way is a social commentary, the other is a whodunit. Both are legitimate. This is a fantastic read that you will not be able to put down.
