A short, light-hearted read. Connie Willis seems to alternate between humor and incredibly detailed research (or sometimes both, as in To Say Nothing of the Dog); this is pretty far toward the humor side of the spectrum. I'm tempted to say "for Connie Willis completists only" but that would be a bit harsh. Think of it as a very short novel (or an extended novella) that explores the ideas of sex, love, territorial exploration and political correctness, with tongue firmly in cheek. It was a decent read but I expected more from a Connie Willis book, even though this was written early in her career.
