From School Library Journal

YA In the year 2000, a huge potato-shaped asteroid, nicknamed the Stone by Americans, appears in orbit around the earth. Exploration shows that it is divided into seven man-made, hollowed-out chambers, indicating that it had been inhabited. Scientists discover that it was built by Earth people, but in the far distant future, and that a nuclear war is imminent. It becomes crucial that theoretical mathematician Patricia Vasquez discover why the former habitants left and where they went. Although Eon is far too long, its story of futuristic cities and life forms stirs the imagination. Readers travel to worlds where humans may exist as memories in the City Memory Bank, corporeal representatives (ghosts) or incarnations. Other humanoid life forms also exist, and in an amazing array of shapes, from snake-like creatures to floating blobs. Bear's creativity provides a richness to an intricate, complex plot. It's unfortunate that the length may deter all but the most avid sci/fi fans. Pam Spencer, Mount Vernon High School Library, Fairfax, Va.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Disjointed, confusing, but hardcore SciFi, Jui 22 2004
Par tj2k (Issaquah, wa United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Eon (Mass Market Paperback)
The absolutely blatent plagerizing of Arthur C. Clarke's "Rendevous With Rama" series aside, this book is a fairly healthy mix of harcore science fiction (heavy on the physics) and absolutely random tangents of plot that go nowhere.

I found the book unsatisfying in story development and resolution, but interesting enough in theoretical creativity to balance it out.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Some good ideas poorly presented, Mai 13 2004

This review is from: Eon (Mass Market Paperback)
Never having read Greg Bear before I wasn't sure what I had in store for me when I picked up Eon. A few chapters into the book I was about ready to give up on Mr. Bear. I could forgive his frequent forays into the technical discussions of hard science fiction. I could forgive his tendency to introduce subjects/objects/phrases and not properly explain them until several chapters later. But I could not forgive the hollow characters who behaved more and more eratically as the story progressed. And I disliked the teasing of what seemed to be potentially important subjects (i.e. the Frants or the increasingly promiscious nature of characters) that went no where.

Despite all this, he managed to weave an intriguing enough story that I struggled through these faults and finished the book. I certainly wouldn't put this on any Top X book list, but neither would I toss it in the trash if I received it as a gift.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Unfilmable, Janv. 21 2004
This review is from: Eon (Mass Market Paperback)
If anyone can make this book a film then maybe it is those Matrix guys but this would be a huge production if they did.

The book is about a comet with an inside that is bigger than the outside. There are cities inside that have been deserted.

This book is a great cut of classic sci-fi. You will love it.
