4.0 out of 5 stars We're off to see the wizard!, July 18 2004
Attanasio writes some pretty good science fiction, and this novel is a lot better than a lot of the books you see, but it isn't the author's best. In fact, it reminded me of 'The Wizard of Oz' ... you've got a tin man who wants a heart (or to become human), a brain who wants a body (sort of a reverse Scarecrow), and a girl who wants a home (well, maybe). I can't work out if the journalist or Buddy is the cowardly one, and the wicked character melts in the end. Actually, the correlations listed are a bit stretched, but still, the character's are on their way to a magical city to have their problems solved. Not a bad read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the "Big Names", Nov 23 2003
By Avid Reader (Franklin, Tn) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Solis (Hardcover)
It is amazing what celebrity can accomplish. Attanasio has to be one of the greatest sci-fi writers around but who do we hear about - Azimov (very formulaic and mechanical), Clarke (who has published some of the best/worst potboilers around) or any of the other "Founding Fathers" of science fiction.

How else can one praise this magnificent work of art - the characters (including the brain) are all interesting, the story is one we've heard before but is handled so well that it seems refreshingly new, the plot is especially well designed but even better is the execution. Dialogue was perfect and the writing was just this side of poetic.

The long chase scene and the switches in scenery seemed to fit in effortlessly in the plot. Great book.
