[nesfa-reading-group] The Spare Man

[Shelly Thomas]

I am also unable to attend tonight.  Here is my review.  I enjoyed the
book, it was an easy mostly entertaining read.  If this book was a painting
it would be one of those graphic art ones done in all primary colors.  Some
of the more interesting plot themes weren't developed like the interplay
between the two famous roboticists.  I'm giving the book a 6/13 overall
though primarily because too much of the book was spent on the DPBS which
got really tiresome.
