Beggars Ride by Nancy Kress
2.0
This might be the worst of the three. And it still had that weird hold on me that made me read it in less than 10 days (after a month of not reading Rocannon's World).
But make no mistake, this is bad. Bad story, bad characters, bad politics, BAD MESSAGE ABOUT NEUROCHEMISTRY IN THE BRAIN.
Also, the incredible copout of the ending
And the way she reinserted the beggars' theme was just... Ugh. Bleh. No.
