  • The Lathe of Heaven
    • Rated 5 stars

    Excellent and amazing. This book kept me enthralled through one long, tense night. Recommended to anyone who enjoys a well written speculative story.

    Ghost Ocean

    by S.M. Peters
    • Rated 3 stars

    Well written and intelligent but also dark and gruesome, so not really my thing.

  • The Grand Ellipse
    • Rated 3 stars

    What can I say about this book? I loved parts of it, for instance the setting - this world is fantastic. Some of the characters were great. I was so disappointed when some of them were just dumped along the way, or died. The heroine is a naive, selfish and not very smart woman. As you might be able to tell I don't like her very much, and that's a major drawback. The plot was disappointing too. The race - The Grand Ellipse from the title - was fascinating. It took the characters around the world, letting them experience all the various countries and cultures. Then when it ends the story more or less ends too. I could have given this book four stars, but as it was, I was considering giving it only two.

  • Tales of the Dying Earth
    • Rated 1 stars

    Three stories from the first book (The Dying Earth) were good, I've thought so from the time I first read it, but the rest of the book was just terribly disappointing. What a waste of money. :(

    Fascinating as usual. Full of interesting details about Turkish culture and history.

    Very well written book. Perhaps unfairly I deducted a point for the lack of likeability of the characters (with the possible exception of Hendricks, the pathologist).

  • le cadavre anglais

    • Rated 3 stars

    A little slower, and now quite as interesting as the earlier books in the series. Still, quite interesting anyway and I was happy to note that I'm getting more fluent in French.

    Fun, fascinating and well written. There were some minor details I didn't like, but all in all, I'm happy with this book.

    • Rated 2 stars

    Quite a disappointment. I'd heard so many good things about this author, and Coraline was good, if not quite as fantastic as I'd been led to believe. This book, however, was nothing like I'd expected. I really didn't like it. The only part I did like was the one about the sky ship. Fascinating idea. I wish the author had focused more on that part. Oh, well. There's no telling in advance what I'll think about a book. It was worth a shot.
