Yvonne Olivotto yvonneolivotto — Book was boring never even finished the book. Couldn't get into it.

Eric Kimathi selfmadeana322 — I can't believe this woman is still alive. She drinks so much it is hard to believe. One of her psychiatrists ought to be sued and have her license revoked. Reading this book makes me feel a little like I've had too much coffee, like a movie that is so intense it makes your palms sweat. One thing I can't understand is where did all the money come from, did her writing really cover all those expenses? In between all the bipolar episodes she must have somewhat of a normal life, I wish she had of touched on that.

Bryan Gonzalez stevebg — I opened this book for the first time - one of the few Steinbeck novels I had not yet read - shortly after completing my own first attempt at writing a novel. The little book is one of Steinbeck's earliest published works and, interestingly enough, the one that took him the longest to complete. It was in this context that I found the book most provoking: myself an aspiring writer, it was interesting to witness part of the development of one of my favorite novelists. Although not yet as strong and defined as in his later works, the classic Steinbeck tone is still there, and, of course, it is set against the oft-revisited setting of the fertile farmlands of Central California. What prevents me from giving this book a higher rating is that, in the scope of Steinbeck's literary career, it is not very impressive. The characters do not gel together as flawlessly as those in most of his later works and the classical allusions to parallel stories and characters in the Bible are a bit shaky and somewhat inconsistent. Nevertheless, what prevents me from giving this book a lower rating is that it remains a thoughtful, intriguing, and insightful piece on the nature of man's relationship to the land and to God. Overall, it is certainly a worthwhile read. In both its length and the complexity of its symbolism, To a God Unknown is certainly more accessible than Steinbeck's more celebrated longer works, such as The Grapes of Wrath or East of Eden, but it is in no way a comprehensive sample of Steinbeck's essential style and literary voice.

Andy He andyho124 — I think that this book is very good. It is confusing at times, but otherwise it is very amusing. The graphics are beautiful!! I wouldn't buy this book without color pictures. It is a wonderful book.

Jon May jonmay — I would rather have given this 2 1/2 stars. But I did like the story, so I went with 3. Unfortunately for this book it hit on a couple of my pet peeves... First of all, the book felt overly long. There was too much description of things that didn't matter and it impeded the progression of the story. I know that the authors job is to paint a picture, but for me, it was just too much. Second was the number of characters. Some of the characters were from the first book, so I was able to keep track of them easily. But there were probably 20-30 characters in this book. Most of them new. Usually that wouldn't be a problem, but the author went back and forth between calling them by their first OR last name! It was like having 60 characters to keep track of. It was a bit overwhelming for me. But, like I said, I did like the story.

Timothy Bigham not2plaide5c0 — I finished it! Hurray. I had to power through about 100 pages of annoyingingly complex and nearly incomprehensible made-up terminology, where Mieville world builds this futuristic colony on a far off planet. But I made it to where there was finally enough action to keep me reading happily. More or less happily. The book is essentially about linguistics. And dissidence, potential societal collapse, and aliens. It's kinda like reading Ursula Le Guin, if Le Guin decided to write way more obscurely. The relationships in the book are sort of sketched, and the world building is also kind of sketched, in a really intricate conceptual way. Lots of detail, not a lot of overall understanding, which I guess is not my favorite thing. Yet the concepts are interesting. Basically it was about an emigrant from a civilized border planet who goes back home to visit Embassytown after having made it out and became some sort of star pilot/navigator. Except Mieville calls it being an immerser, and the immerse is sort of like an oceanic, beyond time and place, other-than-current-universe place. Who knows. Anyway, Avice, our protagonist, goes back home for a visit with her new husband, as a kind of gift to him. He is a mostly-schooled linguist who is fascinated by the Hosts, or Ariekei, an unusual alien race living on that planet (because it's theirs) who have a totally unique language. They are a sophisticated race, with highly advanced bioengineering techniques, and the humans on Embassytown have been living peacefully with them for generations, communicating through a few special human Ambassadors, as the Hosts can't understand anyone else. Avice and her husband Scile stick around for the arrival of a new Ambassador, sent by the empire world, and everything goes to hell.
