          "text": "I enjoyed Free Live Free (by Gene Wolfe). Some critics have\ncomplained that the ending was 'tacked on to make it sf' , but I\nthought the ending fitted well with the rest of the book. It is\ntrue, however, that the only part that qualifies as sf comes at the\nend, so as a whole the book is barely sf.  Don't let that stop you\nfrom reading it - the characters and plot are interesting, and the\nwriting is excellent. I expect to put it on my Hugo nomination form.\n     Free Live Free is out in trade hardcover from Tor. If no\nbookstore in your area has it, A Change of Hobbit (1853 Lincoln\nBlvd., Santa Monica,Ca 90404) has it in stock (last I checked) and\nthey do mailorders.\n\nLinda Wald"
