Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-05 00:00:00 Geraldine Robinson amazing. hard to explain it without making the book sound totally weird. but i read this and HAD to read the others in the series... i was totally sucked in. and just to give the book some credit, the way i learned about it was while working at CU textbook's... it was being taught in a class b/c it deals with so many interesting themes: feminisim, queer theory, end of the world, science, ect.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-08-05 00:00:00 Sid Morrison A post-apocalyptic dystopia in which women are enslaved to men, and life is bleak. But don't assume it'll be that way forever. Yes, this is classic 2nd wave feminist Sci-fi, but it's also really dang good. But I'm going to tell it to you straight. I think that they put these two books into one single volume, because the first one is rather dull and/or hard to get into. Don't get me wrong, it's a fascinating dystopia - but NOTHING beats the complete change of pace, character development, and engrossing tale that follows in the 3 books that follow (only 1 attached). Seriously, Suzy McKee Charnas is one of my heroines, and these books are so smart and compelling...I LOVED them. You just have to slope your way through the first one to get there... think of it as setting up the background.
