![]() ![]() Sleep tight!Ĭreepy as those thoughts are I must respect Coville for what he did with this series. ![]() ![]() But that's going to be fixed real soon kids. I'm really not too psyched about humanity being screwed up because it was a malfunctioning hive-mind. ![]() What a crock, right?Ĭoville avoids that, what he does do though just seems like the terrifying end of a book like 'Childhood's End' given a positive spin. Aw, he forgives his daddy, I guess we won't blow up your planet after all. Humanity always gets saved though by some last-minute act of love or forgiveness. Death and famine versus art and non-lethal sciences. The case against was (and is) pretty solid from that perspective. Remember those old Sci-Fi movies and episodes of the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits where the Earth was held hostage by aliens? Some smug being in a silver jumpsuit or robe would lecture the assembled group of humans about humanity's lust for war and willful neglect of the starving and the poor, etc. The other 'My Teacher' books go into some deep waters with troubled homes, abuse begetting abuse, and the value of strong music programs in our schools, but Coville goes all out here. Who does Bruce Coville think he is? I remembered there being some heavy stuff in this book, but I completely forgot about that ending. ![]()
