4.0 out of 5 stars Good, and Bad., Jun 22 2007
By Matthew Gawelczyk (Calgary) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Archangel (Paperback)
I did like it, but it had some poor ideas shown. Like the keeping a secret for a decades in Russia. The good parts, in my humble opinion, show the more personal insights of family and social life.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good start that fizzles badly..., Mar 1 2007
By richard tremblay (montréal, canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Archangel (Hardcover)
Archangel is a two-part novel. First one gives a fine if bleak picture of Russia today, where everything is for sale, if only for survival sake, much to the chagrin of the sellers. This part is quite entertaining, with well-defined characters (those puffy academics) and atmosphere to boot. The second part of the novel-which should deliver the punch and is only able to deliver embarassed laughters-fails, and Lord does it fails, to convince the reader. Now imagine a new Stalin, looking, talking, frowning, grinning remarkably like the original one, a man who has lived all his life in the remotest of places, mimicking dialectics by having learned by heart his old master's speeches and writings, still able to pick off with an old gun the best of a small contingent of Red Army attack troops... The fact that Stalin's return were to be welcomed again by some segment of the population of modern Russia is not in question, he sure would be, as Hitler would be, as slavery would be, there is always those who regret the tyrant or the tyranny, what is in question here is the conditions in which this new Frankenstein is created, those are ex-cru-ci-a-ting-ly unbelievable. The novel falls apart real bad at the end. Read the novel's first part, it is very good stuff indeed; stop reading when Kelso and O'Brian take off for Archangel. Then go buy some other book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great writing, Feb 12 2005
By J.Jones - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Archangel (Paperback)
This was truly a novel I enjoyed. Sharon Shinn writes in a pleasant manner, and her stories are so unbelieveable, that they become believable. The trilogy itself is exeptional, but in its own way, Archangel sets the pace, and outdoes the following stories. What makes all these stories so intiguing, is the use of technology, and possible outcome of the human race. I thoroughly enjoyed the fantasy world of Samaria, and as always, her books are a welcomed break from everyday work and stress. I recommend these book to any avid sci-fi/fantasy reader, who wishes to escape into a much more interesting reality, then our own humdrum world. And while I DO consider them sci-fi/fantasy, the writing is every bit as good as something you'd find on the bestseller list-say, Da Vinci Code or Bark of the Dogwood. But Harris truly has a knack for drawing the reader in, and that can't be denied. Kudos to the author.

First off, for those of you think that "Archangel" is an alternate history in the tradition of Harris' excellent "Fatherland", it's not. Read more
