New Reviews: Connie Willis's Remake and Bellwether

ADDED reviews of Connie Willis's Remake and Bellwether, both of them minor Willis works. Mists of Avalon is proceeding swimmingly--I'm about a tenth through the book right now, I think, and so far it's only mediocre. Unlike TH White's The Once and Future King, The Mists of Avalon hasn't yet grabbed my attention--in large part because of the somewhat vicious anti-Christian and anti-male bashing that takes place during the story.

DH Lawrence's The Rainbow is ok so far--I've only read about 40 pages into it, and it seems like the first chapter is just a lot of background exposition. The dialogue is, to my modern ears, faintly ridiculous, but I'm sure I'll adjust to that as I continue reading.
