Good narrator, painful dialogues.

Revisado: 03-05-23

I really like the premise of this book and it started off pretty solid. As time went on, though, the dialogue between characters started to bother me to the point that I could not finish the book. The conversations progress painfully slowly and the author makes a huge effort to make them NOT say or do the actual thing any real person would say. I could not suspend disbelief any further and aborted the book half way through.

Read only to continue the series uninterrupted.

If you ever wanted to know what a book consisting entirely of filler would be like, read this one.

Good book, poor production

Revisado: 03-08-15

Good book and a decent narrator. Unfortunately, the production value is not nearly as good. Swallows and other sounds are audible and very annoying.

A very long story of absolutely nothing

Revisado: 05-19-10

Almost nothing at all happens in this book for very long times. It really looks like Weber has been deliberately stretching out the sentences and scenes only to make the book longer. Most of the very, very, elaborate descriptions of scenes and ponderings add almost nothing to the story as a whole.

I was slightly put off by the fact that this book was 2 credits instead of the regular one credit but decided to get it anyway because I previously enjoyed the authors work very much. I regret to have to write that this book wasn't worth the 2 credits I payed by a long shot.

Typical book for the author

Revisado: 09-16-09

I have listened to all of the available "Revelation Space" books by this author and didn't hesitate to get this one for a moment. I was not disappointed.

I very much enjoyed this book, the universe it describes is well though through and it's a welcome change from anything else I have read in a long while. The story takes a little getting used to but once you grasp the time scales involved it's not al all complicated to follow. If there is a sequel to this book I would buy it without a moments hesitation.

Pretty good

Revisado: 05-19-09

A good story, although it isn't finished by a long shot. The narrator however, is truly excellent!

Although it's in the sci-fi section, it's more a medieval-themed story. A hybrid genre, so to speak.
