5.0 out of 5 stars Epic!, Feb 3 2001

By	Joseph Kerr "thebalrog99" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Green Futures Of Tycho (Paperback)

Sleator is unquestionalby a master at this juncture. And "Green Futures" only serves to reiterate this point. One of his more dry storys "Green Futures" utterly destroys any sense of what you think is possible and impossible and aslo what is bad and what is good.

One of the most chilling aspects about alot of Sleator's books is his sometimes horrific display of the Nuclear Family. This book and other like "Rewind" open a few doors into some frightening house holds.

The bottom line is that Sleator is and will continue to be simply Awsome. I highly reccomend this, and many other or his older works like, House of Stairs, Intersteller Pig, Singularity, Strange Attractors, The Duplicate, and Others See Us.

I've been gorging myself on Sleator novels since early childhood, and will continue to do so. The only complaint that I have about this author is that he is not more recognized for people to see his greatness. Truly this man and his works are a credit to our civilization.

5.0 out of 5 stars (Almost As) Good As _Interstellar Pig,_ Slightly More Durabl, Sep 7 2000

By	David Rudel (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Green Futures Of Tycho (Paperback)

This book is almost as good, or maybe as good as, _Interstellar Pig_, but I think it has a bit more durability in the sense that older readers may enjoy it more than some of Sleators other works.

It has the trademark quirkiness of Sleator, and if you liked any of Sleator's books, you should like this one. The novel is about a boy who tinkers with his fate and has to deal with the products of his tinkering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for all ages, Aug 4 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Green Futures Of Tycho (Hardcover)

I first read this book when I was in forth grade. It made a great impression on me. During a move a year later the book was lost. I recently found it on auction and read it again. I am amazed at how wonderfully complex the story is for both young and old readers. Certainly a story for all. Happy reading
