I was reading this on my phone so I can definitively say that nothing new happened in this book until 67% through, and by then I had pretty much guessed the twists, but at least it was more interesting to read to the end with actual plot.
I think I'm going to give myself permission to not finish this one. I may, MAY, come back to it at some point. I like the idea of this book more then the execution. There are a lot of concepts I enjoy, but the execution is just a slog to get through. Reading this one I was reminded just how little I...
I don’t think I’ve ever been so sad to leave a set of characters behind. After spending more than 1,000 pages with them between All Clear and its predecessor Blackout, most of it set during the Blitz of London with lots of high tension twists and turns, heartaches and triumphs, I feel like we’ve bee...
Just like the first book in this series Blackout, this was fascinating. However, I don't appreciate sad stories and though that wasn't all there was to the book, this one was definitely sad. Of course I understand that that goes with the territory when you read a book about the war, but still.
2/18/13 ** Great ending, slow in the first half, tempting me to skip ahead. Excellent mystery, with many intertwined threads. Now I want to re-read to see what hints I missed, but don't want to commit to 1200+ pages!
The two books together are about 1200 pages.About a two thirds could be taken out without losing anything from the story.If it had been 400 pages I would probably give it 4 stars.I found myself skipping quite large sections where absolutely nothing seemed to happen, and in doing so probably missed s...
Christmas 2010: I realised that I had got stuck in a rut. I was re-reading old favourites again and again, waiting for a few trusted authors to release new works. Something had to be done.On the spur of the moment I set myself a challenge, to read every book to have won the Locus Sci-Fi award. That’...
I am a big fan of Connie Willis, and I have read much of her work. I prefer her concisely written stories, such as Lincoln's Dreams, but I can also enjoy her longest winded story which spans Blackout and All Clear. Still, I am torn in my efforts to judge it: is it too long? would it be better if...
You must read Blackout first, ideally read the two books back to back. All Clear is not a complete story it is the continuation of Blackout. Reading the other books in the Oxford Time Travel series first would also be very helpful to understand the world and their rules and limitations of time trave...
Continuing where Blackout left off, this sequel weaves a chaotic story of time travelling historians from 2060 who have traveled back to England during World War II to study the lives of Londoners during the Blitz. Typical of Willis' style, the characters in this book are always rushing about in a ...
