4.0 out of 5 stars A book you need to finish to be able to apreciate, April 15 2000
This review is from: Starchild Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
Of the Pohl books I've read, this took the longest to get to being something I could warm up to. The first two books seem to more or less build up to the last (and without the background the last book would be nearly impossible to read), with the last story drawing out the imagination of the reader. Definately a journey for the destination, not the journey itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, fantastic, entertaining science within fiction., April 21 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Starchild Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
If Heinlein had mixed "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" with the semantic subtheme of his short story "Gulf," and seasoned it with Clarke's "2001" and Disney's "The Black Hole," he could have cooked up this story. I would say the quality of the writing qua writing is competent but merely average, whereas the theories, especially regarding the nature of stars, are stellar. If you have read Harry Turtledove's historically-flavored science fiction, you have experienced this combination. An important thing the book did for me was to reduce the incomprehensible magnitude of space to a mentally graspable size. And--it was a real page-turner
