Midworld

A fun and wondrous adventure through one of the coolest concepts for an alien world that I've ever read. Foster describes so many species of flora and fauna that I was overwhelmed with his imagination and ingenuity. It has a killer ending that makes the book better than it has any right to be. As someone interested in botany, I found myself being drawn into the world easily, and enjoyed my time there a lot. 

That being said, it's not like this book is some piece of high literary mastery. The characters and their motivations are dull and forgettable. The prose is average at best most of the time. But the good things is that Foster understands the goal of the book, and doesn't try to make it anything it doesn't need to be. It's a great bite sized adventure, perfect for a quick read.
