The title of this book refers to a biolog (aka blog) written by one of the main characters. And here I am reviewing it on my blog. Like, woah, meta!

Anyway, this one was good, and there's lots of interesting stuff in here. Basically, it's a first contact novel, except the aliens are far future humans, and the contactees are bat-like aliens. This sort of reversed first contact thing has been done before, but there was something about the way this one was done that I really liked.

One nice touch is that the aliens, while similar to humans in some ways, react to the first contact differently than I suspect humans would, which made them a bit more alien.

I also really liked the voices of the different characters. Macleod did a particularly good job with his blog author, who's a teenage girl, and there's just a touch of LiveJournal-style writing in it, but not enough to undermine the story with too much "our world" reference.
