i think that another reading of this book in a few months would earn it another star. this is an exceptionally strong novel in terms of imagination and style. i am a longtime, rabid fan of Palahniuk's work and always happy to see something new hit the stores. this one falls short only due to lack of resolution. Palahniuk's work always involves a drastically telescoping narrative and a few final plot elements that pull the rug out from under the reader but lock every previous word of the book together like a finished puzzle. this one simply doesn't have all of its ducks in a row when it performs the final flourish, and some of the strands are left hanging. for all that, it's a wonderful book based on a profoundly interesting premise. sure to please anyone who likes his other work or has an anti-establishment streak of any size.

I thought this book was fun… yes I said fun… I thought the chemistry was great hot hot hot, I liked the emotional conflict that the main characters had to go through together and separately, I thought she has a really good enemy that she can use and develop through out the series. I will definitely be reading the rest of these books and I want to learn what happens with the rest of the Brotherhood. Just a side note there is some bad language and heavy sexual content for anyone who isn’t interested in reading stuff like that.

I learned here that it isn't easy to turn an early 60s science fiction Theatre play (London's Mermaid Theatre in 1962) into a novel, and most specially one to be released in 1969. But to be fair, you get a warning right from the start, from that title. It should always be in uppercase: ROCKETS IN URSA MAJOR. Because that way you get the mood of the times it was written in, and the tech levels they used. The late 50s and early 60s was a time of great transitions for Science Fiction that dealt with space travel. You went from spacemen to astronauts (which might or might not include female astronauts later on) and from V-2 derived single stage to orbit rockets with huge fins (who went everywhere, from the Moon to Sigma Draconis) to spacecraft which were specialised in their functions, and eventually to starships. Some novelists, like Arthur C. Clarke, made the transition even earlier in the late 40s. Others dragged on til the 60s or never made it and were of course not published at all given their antiquities. The Hoyles, fater and son from a weird exception here. So this "novel" by the Hoyles is a curious, and intellectually fascinating logjam of early concepts, turned out from a stage work of an earlier era. They try at times to make it modern by sidestepping completely issues like getting from one star to another using what seem like ancient rockets. We can just imagine they were "special" rockets, right? At the same time they repeatedly use plot/tech elements which would be more suited for a steampunk story of a gaslamp fantasy written by the Foglios. At one point, for instance, one fo the main characters, a colonel in her Britannic majesty's space forces, decides to have his Star Destroyer brought by rail from an astrodrome near London to an astrodrome near Cambridge, just because he wants to better coordinate the launch of two ships. Oh sorry, I meant two rockets. Note that this isn't a good novel at all. It's a fantastic atomic train crash even if they don't actually say that the trains are atomic and even if they surely would not crash in any circumstance given the efficiency of technology in this future Britain. In short, read this ultra slim novel only if you feel nostalgic for a pre-Arthur C. Clarke British mode of Science Fiction or if you want to see what it feels like to have the equivalent of an early Dan Dare adventure written as a novel by an old fashioned Brit astronomer and his son.

Great book. I really like Shannon Hale!
I just finished A FEAST OF SNAKES. It's one of those books I need to think about before I review. My guess is I will add another star in another day or so. I really liked how he smoothly transitioned perspectives, leaving one character and jumping into the head of another character as they walked into the next scene. I usually have trouble with multiple POVs, but Crews is one of the few authors I've read who does it well, really well, and each new POV makes sense, moving the story along and building the tension surrounding Joe Lon, the protagonist . I may try to emulate his technique. I have much more to say, but first I must think... stay tuned for more when I have had time to ponder this book.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! IGGY AND FANG! ROCK!

YIKES. I began to wonder if I would ever finish this book. It was tedious and tiresome. The characters were distant, full of human frailties, obnoxious, perverse and extremely self-centered. AND there's sex.. so one would think this would be an interesting book instead of a yawn. Until two-thirds of the way into the book,the author 'seems to' compare his character's lives with democracy. The vigor and brightness and promise in the beginning gives way to poor choices, complications. Poor choices lead to incompetence, perversity and hypocrisy. Then shame and humiliation. But the end of the book shows no tie to that democracy analogy (so maybe I'm completely wrong on this). During the incompetence/perversity/hypocrisy, BUSH/CHENEY were in leading us into Iraq with KBR (he has other initials for his company). Toward the end of the book, when shame and introspection and humiliation are going on, Obama is in. I'm just left scratching my head on this one.

This is continuing from the Percy Jackson series but the main character is different and you don't see a lot of Percy Jackson in this one. Well, not in this book anyway.

The obvious - must be knocked up to have your socks knocked off - but this was so true, so gross and so funny!

Alex- bu beni gerçekten rahatsız eden kitaptı. Okumalısın.
Very good. had to get through a lot of Terry Pratchett-ness (not a bad thing) to get to a really good ending. Plus, lots of Death, and he's one of the best characters on the Discworld.
