Są takie książki, które miały być tylko przerywnikiem przed powrotem do jakiejś serii. Takie, które czyta się szybko, przyjemnie ale i bez zobowiązań. Takie, które może i nie zostaną w pamięci na długo, ale przynajmniej po skończeniu czujesz, że to był miło spędzony czas. Są takie książki. I jest "E...

“I am the bridge between the bleeding edge and the dead center. I stand between the Wizard of Oz and the man behind the curtain. I am the curtain.” In “Blindsight” by Peter Watts What if: There is only one consciousness that we all share? (Universal Consciousness) What if: People are caught in the i...

Series: Rifters #2 Maelstrom picks up where Starfish left off, but I'm not really sure how to explain the book. It's good, but there's an underlying theme of abuse that could turn people off. For most of the book, we follow Lenie Clarke as she keeps slipping through the clutches of those who are a...

Series: Rifters #1 Starfish is an uncomfortable book. I feel I should issue a warning that several of the characters have been abused or were abusers. That said, it’s also a good book. There is a dismal atmosphere that is both oppressive and claustrophobic, and a large part of it takes place in th...

Wśród przeróżnych rankingów literatury sci-fi prym wiodą przede wszystkim pozycje starsze, leciwe wręcz, które weszły do kanonu i klasyki gatunku. Jednym z wyjątków od tej reguły jest książka całkiem niedawno wydana przez pewnego biologa morskiego. Jak się okazuje, odnajdując się w głębinach morskic...

The only reason it took me so long to finish this trilogy was because of Christmas coming up. I quite liked it and it's pretty dark in places and those I loved a lot. Desjardin's sadistic scenes were nicely written and really icky in a sorta fascination way. I hope Clarke and Lubin can find some hap...

I’m trying this new thing, where I make some notes about every story in a collection instead of just hitting the highlights. Watts tends towards a specific set of themes in his writing. For starters, that we are not what our brains fool us into thinking we are. Next, that we are much more predicta...

This one had some twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I think it's a wildly fascinating world the author has created and I just can't wait to finally read the conclusion. I feel sorry for Clarke though and I wonder who else might be like her? I would not shed a tear if Patricia croaks though....
