5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Dec 26 2008
By David Murray - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Altered Carbon Mm (Paperback)
This book is one of the finest I have read in years. It takes elements from sci-fi and a hard boiled detective novel and weaves them together to create a seamless and believable world. An excellent book in all aspects.

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Altered Carbon Mm (Paperback)
Ever since reading William Gibson's SPRAWL TRILOGY (NEUROMACER, COUNT ZERO & MONALISA OVERDRIVE) had I to come across such powerful yet poetic prose. The myriad of voices echoing from a future dystopia...

Just EXCELLENT!

Recommended to everyone - especially William Gibson's fans (trying to make do with his latest, well, dyspeptic novels...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellence, Nov 10 2006
By lzim "LZIM" (Montreal PQ Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Altered Carbon Mm (Paperback)
I read through this novel faster than any I've ever owned. What makes it easy is the overabundance of action and humour.

The reason I finally decided to buy this book was that I'd quoted the sleeving and needlecasting process and wanted a clearer idea of what Morgan actually meant by those terms, in Sci-Fi they are not uncommon but his working implementation of the principles of colony Sci-Fi, though familiar are highly pecimistic.

As a source of inspiration it was disappointing, but for entertainment value it is unparalleled.

I'm recommend Chris Moriarty to anyone who reads Altered Carbon because the styles are near mirror images of each other. As well as the Kevin Anderson Saga of the Seven Stars simply because there are so many of those books that any fan of the genre should find something satisfying within.
