Following on from my recent excursion into the current Nebula crop, my wife asked me to choose some older Nebula winners for her to read.

Actual rating: 2.5A butterfly flapped its wings off the coast of Brazil and I ended up not enjoying this book, can't we just leave it at that so I don't have to get all analytical?No?

Este libro definitivamente está entre mis favoritos. Si bien en ciertos momentos es bastante predecible, hay pocos giros que da la historia que son de los que no te esperas. Amo cada una de las personalidades de los personajes, en especial el de Nathaniel.Creo que lo único que no me gustó de este li...

It's a quick and easy read, good to spend a boring afternoon with.The difference between the first and the second half of the book felt very distinct.At first, for all we know, the coin is magical. It even fits...
