The Years Of Rice And Salt

The Years Of Rice And Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson is a book highly recommended to me by a friend. It is an alternative history, asking what if... the plague killed off virtually all Western European Christians.

I notice that reviewers seem to either love the book or despise it. There seems to be very little middle ground. As for me, I'm separating from the herd and declaring it middling. I didn't find it to be a good book, nor a bad book; it has points of interest offset with terrible dullness.

I wouldn't read it again.
