The book Club is next Saturday, 19 April 2025, 1900 GMT. I apologize for the delay, but my nephew got married. If a cold 3degC drizzle on wedding day is good luck, their marriage will be epic. It was outdoors, BTW.
Anyhoo...we are going to review Mickey 7 by Edward Ashton. I thought it was a decent book, but a little Creeper told me most of you hated it So I don't get totally ambushed, I've included a poll here to find out how many of you wanted this tossed into "the hole."
I'm very curious to know what you think about this, so tell me...
- What do you think of Mickey? Also...If there's a single word to describe him, what would it be?
- What about Nasha? Is she believable as Mickey's main squeeze?
- What are your thoughts on Berto? Would you consider him a friend?
- Of course there's Marshall. Is he believable? A caricature?
- Is Kat relevant to the story?
I think a broader question to me is how Mickey 7 fits into modern Science Fiction.
- Is this where Sci-Fi is going? Otherwise, is it perhaps a relic that should be re-buried?
- What did this book do wrong, or right?
- Was the PoV telling a turn off?
- Was there a "moral" component to this story? If not, did it need one?
- If there was one thing you would change, what would it be?
Finally...how many of you have seen Mickey 17? Do you think the movie is better?
