Hmm. Finished the Imago Sequence a while back, and I see what you mean, Jeff, about the characters. I found myself wanting to finish it so I could get to the next book. I liked the stories, though. The mood was good, but there was something stale about it, about the characters, like they had no souls. Maybe that was Laird's point, but I needed some color.

Again I have to ask, are you talking about the story or the collection? :-)

I could connect with the characters in "Hallucigenia," which is one reason I liked it. (Another being the Cthulhu-like monsters/madness to be found in mathematics.) In particular, I liked the driver--especially at the very end of the story.
