Summary: Fun story - Very engaging
Comment: Enjoyed this story. Made me want to go build a min-sub from cast-off parts and go exploring.
I'm a nitpicky engineering sort. Found it unlikely a guy would be too functional after swimming up and cracking his head on a concrete roof that was covered with barnacles. I'm a damn good swimmer, and have a bit of experience things like that, but softly, and not with the kind of bang he'd have done. That bit of the story indicated a lack of experience. He'd have had a very serious headache, with lacerations to the bone, if he was conscious at all, and be putting a lot of blood in the water unless he had a good set of dreadlocks to cushion things. The part about them swimming so far at night underneath a floating city was also pretty hard to believe. Fish would school under it, and that would bring sharks and barracudas which would be everywhere. Big benthic fellas.
A real fun story story though, with a lot of good details.

Summary: Heinlein LIVES !
Comment: Robert A. has been reincarnated! Blind Waves is in the vein of some of RAH's best- a male writer that can develop a female protagonist- and paints lifelike images of a world after a natural disaster. Waiting eagerly for the next book- they get better each time. I don't usually re-read too many books- but I'm keeping this one.

Summary: A Great underwater exploration novel!
Comment: I love novels that are set in the near future with the world depicted as being different from the world as we now know it. This novel is all that and more. It's my first Steven Gould book, and I'm definitely gonna read more of his stuff.
Patricia and Thomas are convincing characters who do a lot to sustain your interest in the story-- not to say that the storyline itself doesn't do that, because it does. I particularly loved Patricia's Shakespeare-spouting tendencies.
I also liked the setting of the novel-- the Strand, and Texas that's been flooded by the rising seas. The only thing that could have made this novel better was maybe a few more scenes about exploring drowned Texas. I was particularly interested in that aspect of things.
