So i admit to reading some of the game parts twice to truly understand what was happening and who did what, but that is understandable with me being only mildly enthusiastic about sports. Albeit my knowledge is full of holes and sadly Wodehouse uses inner sports circle references freely when it comes to describing the manly entertainments.Now the reason behind reasons, the point of the story, are the comical events involving lots of hapless young men, and as that is usually time after time the main specialty of Wodehouse, it was everything i hoped it would be.

I started this book about 4 times in a year. It never compelled me, but my friend's recommendation was so resonant, the I was determined to get further. By the fourth try, I knew the beginning chapters by heart. It was like I had done all that stuff myself. The thing that turned me off ended up becoming one of my favorite parts of the story. Everyday, average joe things. Washing dishes, putting food into a refridgerator, noticing the same garbage can in an alley. The main character is so average that I was pretty bored. Once some bizarre supernatural things begin to happen around him, this average plane of first person narrative is what stabalizes you and keeps the reader desperately anxious to solve the riddles. The extent to which the vividness of so many different types of people's stories go is stunning. At some point there is an army general who tells his life story, and at that point I was blown away. TO think this is fiction! My god, it's so amazing. I thought it was real.

An amazing memoir. Once again I'm reminded the best character-driven stories these days are memoirs.

Good science fiction is a thing to be savored, the anticipation of it is almost as good as the book itself. So it is that this early 90's era Spinrad has been sitting patiently on our bookshelves just waiting for the right moment for me to pluck it down and peruse it's possible futures. I am often leery of reading more Spinrad as he is a very hit-and-miss author. I think the only book of his that I loved completely and unashamedly was Child of Fortune which featured his trademark futures of a more self-actualized humanity as well as characters and a storyline that I actually care about. Too often in Spinrad's work the plot seems like an afterthought to these fantastic concepts of future societies and human ingenuity that are fleshed out as solidly as the histories of yesteryear. But it's easy to overlook flat characters and stagnant storytelling when the concepts being discussed are so interesting. Which is why I have not put down Russian Spring despite it's cardboard characters. The setting is just too apropos. Written in the late 80s and early 90s during the onset of Perestroika and the fall of the Soviet Empire, Spinrad imagines a world not unlike the one in which we currently live. The countries of Europe have banded together into a Common Europe (much like the current EU) that is slowly taking advantage of Russia's newfound openness to advance both organization's space programs. Meanwhile America has transformed into a hulking military behemoth (not unlike the America of today). Using its Star Wars program to protect it from any possible retribution from other industrialized nations, it is slowly conquering the entire Western Hemisphere as a means to keep its flagging economy from collapsing. This is a world where the military-industrial complex has completely triumphed and now controls all aspects of the American economy (hmmm... kind of like the current domestic political situation). Into this mess is thrown hapless space engineer Jerry Reed. Jerry Reed has a dream and that dream is to help take humanity (not one nation or another but humanity as a whole) to the stars, to help spur an interstellar migration like those once dreamt of in the heady years of the Kennedy presidency. Unfortunately all the assignments available in the American space program have to do with the further militarization of space, leaving Jerry's dream to wither and die. Until he is offered a chance to work on the European Space Agency's space program. Realizing that he would have to forsake his country, which for all of its current faults also has a fantastic amount of potential within it, he also realizes that to live his dream he would have to forsake all else. "I do believe I could learn to walk on water. I'd have to give up everything else to do it, but I could walk on water." And so Reed does.

Amazing book. It seems full of wisdom and Tarrant's style of writing reminds me a lot of how Thomas Moore writes when he's on his A game!

A story that definitely made me glad I didn't live in Stalinist Russia. The mystery is a good one but it was the characters who won me over.
