Merge--Disciple

It took me awhile to get through these novellas and I preferred Disciple to Merge. Merge, I found to be really gross. The overall idea here is that humans are bad and aliens are smarter and know more about us than we do. I had a hard time relating to any of the characters, but that is something I have gotten used to. Overall, the writing is pretty good, it just wasn't riveting. I found myself reaching for other things to read instead. Finally, it was due at the library and I just sat down and finished it. I would NOT recommend this set as a introduction to SciFi for the uninitiated, despite Mosley's fan base. I think some seasoned in the genre may respect some of the ideas presented in both of the stories. I also give major props for featuring characters that are everyday joes who are broke and down on their luck. Overall, not bad, but not ground shaking.
