Doomsday Book

I read two Connie Willis books before I read Lincoln's Dreams. They were To
Say Nothing of the Dog and The Doomsday Book. Both dealt with time travel.
To Say Nothing of the Dog was a fresh book for me and I recommended it to
others. The Doomsday Book, an older book of Willis, was very similar and I
did not like it as much..

I did look forward to reading Lincoln's Dreams. Very disappointing. I did
not want to finish it. I kept wondering why this book was published. It
seemed poorly edited. Lots of problems with the storyline.

I find that people who love science fiction seem to overlook problems with
the plot or character development. They seem so taken with the genre that
they are not always especially discriminating.

I hope I'm not overgeneralizing.
