3.0étoiles sur 5 Middlin' decent - fun, Mai 19 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Brightness Reef (Mass Market Paperback)
It's very, very, very long.
At the end, it has hardly gone anywhere, and one is left with the sense of having spent 3 days in a serial installment left hanging off the edge of a cliff waiting for the next installment.

It's kind of like reading a stack of sci-fi mag serials, except it's all one serial from one author. Same repetition, over and over, setting the frame that you see with serials like that. Same very short niblets of story, many hardly even qualifying as chapters. Same action focused space opera.

But, the story telling was fun and the characters, while a little cheesy at times, were engaging enough to stay with. Kept me up late when I wanted to be distracted.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Half the story in thrice the volume, Janv. 27 2004

This review is from: Brightness Reef (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're desperate to read this series, here's a shortcut: Read the first three pages of each chapter.

For anyone who's read "Atlas Shrugged", you'll recognize the tactic of hideous, layered repetition. Specifically, you'll note that Brin takes the liberty of summarizing The Entire Series again, and again, and again. There _are_ new ideas involved in these books, and that's why I'm handing out the second star, but comparing these to "Startide Rising" is like comparing "Family Matters" to "Friends".

Buy the Cliff's Notes if you have to, or find an online summary, or just start with book three (which contains summaries of the important events in the first two). The whole series just isn't worth your time.

1.0étoiles sur 5 This series should be called "Downlift Saga", Oct. 20 2003
Par Timothy A. Whittaker (Hamden, CT USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Brightness Reef (Mass Market Paperback)
I found the worlds Brin introduced in the first three very interesting and kept me completely engrossed.

Like many of the reviewers, I found the story lines choppy and the characters thin (Not to mention the fact that Brin sees fit to mention that the clans of Jijo were illegal squatters every 100 to 200 words through out the book).

That'll teach me for not reading the readers reviews prior to buying a book.

True swill. Entertaining if you like being brought to fits of anger while trying to skim the hundreds of pages of banality.

Hope the 6 dollars you got from me helped, Mr. Brin. I doubt you'll get another dollar. Go write sitcom script or bad high budget movies - at least that wont be nearly as insulting.

Times like this, I really miss Asimov (God rest his soul).
