Ingram

What force can freeze a lynx solid in seconds, so fast that, once thawed, the cat remains in perfect health? Scientist Larry Fowler would rather run from the cat than believe it existed. However, he cannot stop asking questions--questions that will bring him face to face with the psychlone. --Ce texte provient d'une �dition qui n'est plus publi�e ou qui est non diponible.

This review is from: Psycholone (Mass Market Paperback)

I write this with all due apology for what I will say next: Bear is a good writer, and I enjoyed Darwin's Radio, but this Psychlone is not one of his best works. Not at all. It could be the worst book I've ever read by such a promising author.
Not that anything was bad with the idea: some unknown force with unnatural powers shows up, scientists try to deal with it. But somehow, a little kid is drawn up into the plot. This kid had powers, or maybe not. The truth is that I don't know. I couldn't tell. At the end of the book, several people die. Or maybe not. Yet again, I was unable to tell. This is a BOOK. In books, the writer tells you what happens. Or he's supposed to.
The characters were shallow, and the three plotlines never met up or formed any coherent anything. There was an interesting theory that atomic bombs could destroy the human soul, and that the Big Bang had caused our souls to split from God, but that is never addressed. Something about dead WWII vets who return home as evil ghosts to kill their hometowns. Why would they do such a thing? I couldn't tell.
The main character, though he's a scientist, is also an idiot. He seems unable to do anything on his own. His love interest is mentioned four times in the ENTIRE BOOK. There are simply too many flaws to name.
I will never again read a book where the title is spelled "All hippity hop"

This review is from: Psycholone (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book when it first came out, and was the first Greg Bear book I had read. As such, it holds a special place in my mind and heart. I enjoyed reading (and re-reading) this book. It is a classic escapist Science Fiction, hard to put down, and totally entertaining.

Read it for yourself, but get your own copy. :-)

4.0�toiles sur 5 Why all the bad reviews?, Mai 2 2000

This review is from: Psycholone (Mass Market Paperback)

I got Psychlone real cheap at the library a few years ago and I thought it was cool. I always like reading sci-fi and things to do with weather and Psychlone is a good sci-fi book to read. I thought the freezing of the lynx and how the storm made a huge rock figure that looked like a huge pig was awesome. Psychlone has a lot of good suspense in it and all the stories will keep you wanting to read on to see what happens next.

Don't listen to them other reviews, this is a good book and it's well worth its price.
