<\/span>Karen “Cookie” Orbach is a sci-fi loving nerd. An overweight, over naive, African American woman that can see the events of a war taking place far from Earth when she watches TV.
\nThis book is quite interesting, especially as you watch Cookie’s character become more self aware and self confident throughout the story.
\nThe alien side of the story is very interesting, but the best of the book is reserved for the real world as Cookie’s wall of denial starts to collapse around her after a family tragedy.
\nI’d recommend it to science fiction fans looking for something a bit different and very much so to anyone looking for a book with a full on female perspective.<\/p>\n
