SPOILERS Problematic but original. Morgan Sue is a little hard to take; it's inevitably going to be tricky to write from the POV of a person with depression, and the book does critique her self-involvement, a little, but not much. And the other characters are forever telling her what an inspiration she is to them or what peace she has or whatever. I have a problem with the antagonist, John -- we're told that he does various things wrong (doesn't do his share of the chores, is very rude to Jakob the gay dancer, etc.) but we don't see this happen, and I never did see any reason for John to commit the murders he commits, nor did I see any reason for him not to just start at the center and kill Morgan, the alien, or both. The alien, Blue, is nicely realized, as is the police officer who watches over them (thus I was especially disappointed to see him take advantage of the new repressive laws to torture a suspect and to hold a spying co-worker indefinitely without trial).
