4.0 out of 5 stars Especially poignant given September 11, Jan 18 2002
By "philo_of_alexandria" (Lewisville, TX United States) - See all my reviews
I too read this book -- several years ago, now. Its description
of the Islamic Imams was perhaps the only introduction to Islam
I had ever really had. Its treatment of the historical
uneasiness between the Islamic and Western worlds, even if done
in fiction, is especially poignant in a post September 11 world.

I too hope the sequal gets published.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex worlds, societies & characters in a great story, Jun 15 2000
By "pallen9254" (Stratford, CT) - See all my reviews
I've just finished my third reading of VENUS OF DREAMS. I suppose that the fact I've found a third reading exciting says something about the quality of Pamerla Sargent's writing (or maybe about the quality of my memory?). As a member of that tribe which looks for realistic science underlying SF storytelling, I was very satisfied with that aspect of Sargent's story. Her exploration of ideas of social organization are very well-fleshed and believeable, and her characters are richly detailed. I eagerly await the opportunity to read the other two volumes of the VENUS series, VENUS OF SHADOWS - now out-of-print, and the forthcoming CHILD OF VENUS.

It's sad that the first two volumes of her Venus series are out-of-print. One of the terrible legacies of the Reagan era is the tax law revisions that make it more worthwhile for publishers to let most titles go out of print after only one year. I despair of finding a copy of VENUS OF SHADOWS. I am, however, delighted to see that the final volume, CHILD OF VENUS, is scheduled for publication early next year. Hopefully, if sales of CHILD are as good as they should be, the publisher will reprint the entire series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading - You'll Really Enjoy!, Mar 27 2000
By Aubrey (Jasper, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
Venus of Dreams is the fascinating story of a young girl named Iris who dreams of transforming the planet Venus into a habitable paradise. Eventually Iris marries and leaves her family on Earth to live on one of the Habitats orbiting Venus. Iris is now working on the project to transform Venus. There are too many plots and substory lines to go into them all, but any reader will have a hard time putting the book down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, Best sci-fi I've ever read
What can I say? This is one of the best books I've ever read. I can't wait to find copies of its sequels. Get this one, you wont be sorry.
