5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Science Fiction or Fantasy novel in 43 years., Jul 12 2001
By Kent Paul Dolan (Clovis, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The Reefs of Earth is my favorite SF&F book ever found in 43 years of reading. I buy every copy I find in used book stores, just to be able to give a copy of this book to my best friends, and I long ago read my own two copies until they fell apart. Raphael Aloysius Lafferty, always excellent, outdoes himself in telling the story of "six kids, seven if you count bad John", and their efforts to take over the world from the clueless rednecks, parents, and other riffraff currently in charge. Even the prose is poetry, but the poetry, also part of the book, is excellent, good in the sense of Beowulf and battle poetry, not Shakespeare and romantic poetry. He writes about BIG, *hairy* people, ones who usually don't get along very well with one another, and if you have an ear for language, you'll love it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fiendishly clever!, Aug 18 2000
By matt (Exeter, RI USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a hidden masterpiece. The use of poetry is brilliant - even each of the chapter titles come together to form one poem. The characters are the perfect blend of innocence and wickedness. Like no other book you will read!
