Is Sawyer's Hybrids worth reading?

Post by Johonebesus »

The librarian stopped me and told me they just got in Hybrids. I read the first two books, and wasn't terribly impressed. Is the third novel any better, or does it still have the ridiculously perfect Neanderthals with their cruel eugenics program that has magically cured all crime?

No, good lord, Hybrids is the worst book in the trilogy by far.

The first two books were sort of OK but by the time he got to the third it's like he just ripped off his pants and started full-on wanking to the Neanderthals.
