| "Everyone should read 'The Gunslinger' by Stephen King at least once in their life...this is not basic King literature but something of an even darker stock." Olaf |

| The fourth book in Mr. King's Dark Tower series. If you made it to this book you will be more than pleased to see loose ends and questions from previous books resolved yet this work also serves to invigorate the series by promising so much more that reader's will be hungry for at the end of Wizard and Glass. |
| This book goes well beyond the whole technology and future themes by creating a whole new theory on what our world of fast food, billboards, TVs, minivans, computers and drugs will become in the near future. The heroes of this Sci-Fi are Minorites in a still- racist society so this adds alot more depth and suspense. Great read that is also educational in terms of the history of language and communication. |
| This book is absolutely amazing! The Sci-Fi is amazingly absurd and radically real. What you'll enjoy most about this book is how it gives a picturesque future world-if that is what it is- but society is still messed up. This also has one of the best Sci-Fi endings ever! and you'll never get it until the very last page (literally)!!!! |
| I've read this book years ago, but it still stands out in my head, the story was really good and the characters are well created. I am reluctant to recommend it because the ending is a cliff hanger and I've spent the last seven years looking for the continuing books which are over 30 and all out of print and written by entirely different authors. You may find others in the Death Land series writter by James Axler. If you do I would recommend reading them. As a post nuclear world saga this is FAR superior to BattleField Earth!!!!! |
| This is a very intelligent novel that uses wit and humor to communicate extremely complex ideas and themes to the everyman sci-fi reader. Expect to learn a dung-load about time travel, astrophysics, matter, blue babies, and squids. Yes the protagonist is a squid! A great example of juxtapositioning humor and science to create a good book. Also look out for Manifold Space!!! |
| Joe Haldeman's Forever series offers a whole new world with old ideas to readers. This sets the stage for a novel filled with prime drama, conflict and remarkable characters. A good example of a struggle to not only save the world but something else that is "individual" and that is already lost in our society today. Forever Free is my favorite. Although read the Forever Peace and Forever War before tackling this gem!! |

| All the physics and chemistry I ever learned in college are in this book. Dr. Sagan has managed to organized, edit and express complicaticated science and theories that even Havard Professors have a hard time communicating. What's more he does it with a wonderful narrative voice. Expect a journey into a brave new world of facts and ideas that will change the way you see yourself and the world!!! |
 |
| This is a great under-a-tree-in-the-park-on-a-summer-day book, The pictures are marvelous and the notes are very educational. You begin on page one looking into the universe from a larger, unknown structure and you gradually zoom in page by page to Globular clusters, Galaxies, our Solar System, earth, Chicago, a human hand, skin cells, atoms, protons, electrons, genetic material, bacteria, viruses, down to the smallest structures known to man and what does it look like? you'll be surprised how pictures on the last and first pages resemble. Also look for the miniture flip book version, for real entertainment!!! |
| This concludes the book review section, I've put sections of my own work on a link below so just click on the book below and you will be transported other worlds!!!!! |

| As soon as I'm done reading 'em, I'll fill you in. I don't read much fiction anymore. I guess I'm getting old and I've been more focused on my own writing. But the truth is many of today's science fiction novels seem to be the same "space opera" re-written again and again with the same character types and situations but in different environments. I believe that the next break through story in this genre will project a new realm of psychological development and not focus on techno toys such as laser guns and starships. I digress, but come back for my words on the above books. So far the best of the pack has been "Borderlands Of Science" and the worst has been "Manifold: Space" Olaf 2/7/2003 |
