Was I damning too much by feint praise? I thought I agreed it was pretty good. Just some of the human plot stretched a bit far to the ridiculous. The spider eye view of the world and technology, and their take on religion was fun, and well done.
Much better than a couple of books by far more acclaimed authors I've read recently, for instance.
I'm British, we're fed sarcasm and understatement from birth. :)
