This book is long, but totally worth the time investment. Fascinating.

Boring. Stopped reading at about page 90 after forcing myself through it. The plot is bad, the characters are flat, and the pace is slow.
Loved this one. It was 10 times better than The Golden Compass. The pace flowed, kept me wanting to read more.

Kurt Vonnegut reminds me of a grandfather who always has interesting stories to tell about his life. He's always there for you, and he always has something. This book is a mishmash of his original idea for the novel (which he calls Timequake One) and stories about his life, which together make this book (Timequake Two). Timequakes themselves are complete reruns of things that have happened in a certain amount of time (usually 10 years). The people know what will happen, but all they can do is watch the inevitable. When a timequake ends, however, people tend to forget how to do things (such as steer) and so it's usually traumatic. He slowly works his life into the relatively small fictional part of the novel until the last, 62nd(?) 'chapter' where he meets his alter-ego, Kilgore Trout at a clambake. It ends on an interesting, insightful note. The epilogue afterwards turns it into a depressing note. The book itself comes off as a huge, "Who cares? Let's reminisce" shrug on life. It's great for reading little by little, piece by piece before bed. That's how I read it. Otherwise, I wouldn't see how well it'd go for a marathon session.

Nothing remarkable or unremarkable, here. This is just a good historical romance set in England.

I actually started reading this book in 1999, as part of my SF/Dystopias class at George Mason. For that class I had to read four stories in the book, and I always intended to read the rest of them, but never got the chance. This is an important book in that it is a survey of the best representations of science fiction short stories from 1843 ("The Birthmark" by Nathaniel Hawthorne) to 1985 ("Bloodchild" by Octavia Butler). Most of the stories are outstanding, and when read in context of their dates of origin, occasionally mind-boggling. Of particular note is E.M. Forster's "The Machine Stops," which, written in 1909, references not only the SF future of the story, but references previous generations in a way that would make you think the story was written in 1990. It is truly a spectacular dystopic story. Also of not is John W. Cambell's "Who Goes There?" which was the premise for 1951's movie The Thing and Arthur C Clarke's "The Sentinel," which laid the groundwork for 2001: A Space Oddysey. Other authors represented are Wells, Asimov, Bradbury, Zelazny, PK Dick, Ellison, LeGuin and others. For a truly great many reads, if you can get your hands on a copy of this book (it's not easy to find!), do so. It's worth every minute of reading. And no, you can't have mine.
SO CUTE!!!
