Best SciFi I've read in a while - Rated
Robert Charles Wilson takes a great hypothetical situation of the Earth being caught in a time bubble and explores the effects and possibilities this creates in a thoroughly believable story. Gripping read.
Best Book of 2009 - Rated
Brilliant - I couldn't put it down from stat to finish. Having not read any of this author's work before, I picked it up in Borders whilst browsing, and read the first 40 pages in the store without realising how long I'd spent in there!
Character development was plausible, coherent and realistic; a real mix of emotion and yearning. The science and scope of the story itself was brilliantly conceived, and I loved the handling of scientific subjects without the story becoming simply a vehicle for them.
The ending was pretty good, not too rushed and mostly in-line with the rest of the pace of the book.
I'd recommend this book for hard and soft sci-fi fans alike.
Best novel I've read for a long time - Rated
I found this novel a real page turner, The concept was superfically similar to Quarantine by Greg Egan but was much more readable.
It didn't get bogged down by going off at irrelevant tangents or try to be too clever in use of unbelievable technology, are you listening Alistair Reynolds?
too often a great concept is undermined by poor execution but that was not the case here,
and I actually found the charactors very real which is sometimes not the case for a sf novel.
And I'm certainly going to seekl out his other stuff.
Great read, original idea - Rated
Good characterisation and a novel idea, what more does a good SF novel need? I confess the female lead irritated me and maybe the narrator was a bit supine but I really cared what happened to them.
Great pace throughout and excellent cutting from now to the end to keep the tension going. I was left only worrying that the technical explanation we get near the end might be disappointing or unconvincing but once again Robert Charles Wilson did not let me down.
I'm going to read the sequel, Axis, for sure.
wonderful! - Rated
