Fine Prey by Scott Westerfeld

4.0

Odd adult sf. This was Scott Westerfeld's second book and as expected it was pretty cool. I can kind of see how you get to Uglies from this. But I still wish he was still writing adult sf, and maybe he'll go back to it some day. This book was worth buying it in order to read it. It starts in the middle and kind of ends vaguely abruptly, though does have an ending. As with his first book, it is a young woman pov throughout. But this one is also about language and aliens (just off screen) and hunting and the changing of society. In a lot of ways not much happens. But basically pretty cool.

Maybe my favorite Westerfeld novel, in spite of the fact that I probably didn't really understand it. Science Fiction to me often has this quality of incomprehensibility, as if it's operating on a higher plane than I am as the reader. Still, the unfolding of events in this novel captivated my mind and moved me deeply.
