1.0 out of 5 stars Skip it., Jan 25 2004

This review is from: Past Master (Paperback)
Even though this book stands on its own, if one has not read Thomas Moore's Utopia, I suspect they would be lost. The book is interesting, but not very entertaining. There is no character development, no story development, just a hodgepodge of ideas.

I can't believe this was nominated for a Hugo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Read _Utopia_ first, May 14 2000
By R. Wallace "Bob Wallace" (St. Louis, Mo USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Past Master (Paperback)
To understand this novel, you pretty much have to read Thomas More's _Utopia_ first. Still, the book does make sense on its own --it's essentially what would happen in a "perfect" world; a Heaven on Earth. Not surprisingly, people can't stand it and go live in Hell. At least they feel alive there. It probably would have been better as less than a novel; I don't think the length can be justified. Lafferty is a very literate writer, full of interesting ideas and intriguing imagery.
