Review Detail of GoneSoSoon in Gliese: Memories of Modern Earth

I know sci-fi isn't the most popular, and the author even mentioned this to me, but I feel like the love put into this story is obvious despite that. The grammar in this story isn't the best, but that can always be improved, and I'm not the type of person to hate on something like that anyway. I think as long as whatever combination of words you use can get a meaningful story across, then it's alright. The author was able to do that very well. From what I had read, it seems like the characters in the beginning, rather than being fully fleshed out individuals, are more meant to be like a 'vessel' to introduce the plot, which I think is fine. Very minutely, their personality traits are shown off, and it's more just to bring the reader to a sense of the world around the characters. I'm sure that they will be developed when the most majour plot point is introduced. As for the plot, I think it is absolutely wonderful. I think the idea of 'grand conspiracy' is always extremely entertaining, moreso when the individual who has to confront it is basically a normal person without any significant power, having to use their own intelligence to circumvent problems. The background of the story is extremely fleshed out, not by the sake of it being a very well-built world, but by the fact that the author has the knowledge of intricate detailing that allows them to make very realistic processions. Rather than spending time creating a very suspension-of-disbelief type of world, they spend their time being very true to the world we live in, and manage to make it seem extremely realistic. I'm sure that this will be subverted by the more sci-fi elements that seem out of this world, and draw an amazing parallel between the two elements of realistic vs. unrealistic. I highly recommend giving this novel a chance. It has a lot of good points that I think will be developed wonderfully.
