5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite of all Reynolds work, Feb 28 2008

By

Jeff V (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Chasm City (Paperback)

This was the first book I read by Alastair Reynolds and, after reading another five of his books, I found it the best. (As another reviewer said, it's like they were written by someone else.) The first person narrative, the character depth, the intricate story lines which converge at the end, the sleek and simple hard SF, the perfect jewel-like descriptions, made this a great read for me.

This review is from: Chasm City (Mass Market Paperback)

I was never much of a reader in life. That all changed when a friend suggested that I read Chasam City. This book is so good that wonce I started reading it I just could not put it down. The way Reynolds has such a broad detailed view of this book is incredible. He can take a little thing that seems so harmless and insignificant and turn it into a turning point of the story. Now I have gone on to read other books of his and he is now my favorite Sci Fi guy. Read it you wont be dissapointed

5.0 out of 5 stars SMART, ORIGINAL AND GRIPPING., Oct 15 2006

This review is from: Chasm City (Paperback)

I read Chasm City last summer without having read any of Alastair Reynolds other works. This story blew me away with its incredible techologies, out of your head concepts and intricatly twisting, ever developing storylines. When all three storylines finally came together the ending was like nothing i've ever read before and alltogether very satisfying. This book is for hard sci-fi fans who love that feeling of being in awe at the ideas exibited in their books. If you enjoy concepts and technologies that set your head to spinning and warrant a few minutes to fully grasp then this book is for you.

I've just recieved Revelation Space and Redempion Ark from amazon.ca and im looking forward to further discovery of this author's universe.
