Sixty Days and Counting

Sixty Days and Counting by Kim Stanley Robinson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Who knew that a book about the end of the world could end on a positive note? Robinson is obviously a humanist and believes that the angels of our better nature will kick in at some point before we destroy the earth completely. Me, I'm not so sure, but it made for a nice thought. He ties up the problems of the previous 2 books perhaps a little too neatly in this one (and why do authors think that a happy ending must always involve someone getting knocked up). However, along the way he tells a fast-paced story that seems all too real (ripped from the headlines, as it were), which is one of the reasons the rainbows-and-unicorns ending seemed so off.
