In her first novel since 2002, Nebula and Hugo award-winning author Connie Willis returns with a stunning, enormously entertaining novel of time travel, war, and the deeds - great and small - of ordinary people who shape history. In the hands of this acclaimed storyteller, the past and future collideand the result is at once intriguing, elusive, and frightening.

One of my favorite books
Revisado: 01-07-18
Blackout and All Clear are probably my favorite books by Connie Willis. I really enjoy Katherine Kellgren's narration, too! I just wish Alf and Binny got a bit more air time!

Rather Dull
Revisado: 06-08-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would have preferred the story to be told from the viewpoint of several characters - or not in diary format. I felt like a lot of detail was lacking.
What could Gareth Wood have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Character development would have made a big difference. Not only did I feel completely disconnected from the secondary characters, I couldn't muster any real emotions for the narrator, either. There was lots of action... but I found I didn't really care about the outcome. Looking back, the narrator seemed a bit emotionally vacuous himself - connections with his parents and cat were dismissed in about two sentences combined.
Was Rise worth the listening time?
I guess. It's probably NOT worth the credit, though - and I doubt I would have made it through the printed version (too tedious).
