I will admit that Tepper can lay it on a bit thick at times (to say the least), it does depend on your tastes, some of the things she writes do grate more than a little. But in the main I liked it, and I'm not going to apologise for my tastes. It is possible to find positive reviews of Grass on the internet, go read them.

I haven't read Jinian Star-Eye, looking at the blurbs I don't feel particularly inspired to read her earlier stuff.
