Product Description

Man had made the Cities, but he had made them too well. For though they were perfect, their inhabitants were not. And so the Cities rejected their creators, threw them to the desert which lay outside their walls. But generations later not all of those in these nomad camps have lost their faith.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Remarkable Vision, Janv. 15 2003
Par Un client
What a fascinating idea! Greg Bear has a remarkable vision for the future of both religion and architecture that will leave you in awe. These are not normal subjects for SciFi, and it's a really interesting trip.

I had read Strength of Stones before, and returned to it after recently reading Greg Bear's "Vitals." Vitals has a complete shipwreck of an ending (literally and figuratively!), and I'm realizing that this is typical of Greg Bear. Even his best ("Eon") has a kind of fuzzy ending. "Strength of Stones" is great until the last few pages, when the action suddenly shifts to a different continent, with a completely different vision of the future of architecture and religion. Where did that come from!??! It seems that Mr. Bear just doesn't know how to end a book in a way that makes any sense. Despite this, Strength of Stones is a great journey, even if the ending is botched.

I docked a star from this particular printing. The paperback with a green cover is listed as an "iBook." I don't know what that means, but I think this is a different publisher than the copy I originally read. Several sections of this book read like a previous printing of it was sent through OCR, and then the editing was poor. For example, "walls" shows up as "wails" several times. Also, one character's name switches back and forth between "Lod" and "Led." (I seem to recall it was "Lod" in the original.) I'm not sure where this publishing run came from, but it's a bit frustrating to read. If there's an earlier run of this book available in your local used book shop, you might be better off with that version.
