Donna Bowman reviews ‘Matter’ for The Onion’s AVClub.com

February 29, 2008

Another terrific review of Matter, this time over at The Onion's A.V. Club. Reviewer Donna Bowman really gets under the skin of the novel's over-arcing plot devices in Matter, concluding that with Matter, our author:

"...achieves an urgency born of fascinating, fallible, but always relateable characters in microcosm to balance his enormous science-fiction edifice in macrocosm. Then he refuses to settle for the easy answers and predictable arcs that his adventure-genre plotting would lead readers to expect."

Read the full review over at www.avclub.com. Many thanks to Alex Lencicki of Orbit's US office for the heads-up.
