READ DIVERSE BOOKS praises Nalo Hopkinson’s FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS.
When I finish a book as daring, creative, and fantastically unique as Nalo Hopkinson’s FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS, the book lover in me can’t help but smile in wonder at the power of words. Their ability to transport us into a myriad different worlds and allow us to see through as many perspectives is truly magical. In these 18 short stories, Hopkinson proves herself to be a consummate master of creating magical worlds and unique perspectives.
Many of these stories are quite short, some as short as 3 pages long, but in their evanescence they leave a lasting impression.
FALLING IN LOVE WITH HOMINIDS shines not because its stories are cohesive and coalesce to create a grand work of literature– it shines because the stories are remarkably diverse, disparate and undeniably original. I won’t give it a 5 star rating because not every story was great and I wanted a few more of the longer stories. Nevertheless, this World Fantasy Award winner is certainly worth your time and should be added to any Fantasy lover’s collection.
