by Robert J. Sawyer
Jak już czasem wspominałem przy okazji wyrażania opinii na temat powieści Roberta J. Sawyera - uwielbiam tego gościa. Od lat nie trafiłem na autora, który miałby chociaż cień szansy na zajęcie miejsca tego wesołego Kanadyjczyka na mojej top liście. Powód uwielbienia jest prosty: Robert J. Sawyer to ...
I really do like Mr Sawyer's books, but the 'formula' is getting tiresome. It's not a plot formula that leaves me weary - it's the pacing.I always think the premise sounds great. Always. I can't wait to start and the first part is great and fairly rips along, forcing me to spin through the pages. Th...
I enjoyed the concept discussed, how a rejuvenation technology would effect a relationship, and alien first contact through radio signals sent over generations.

First, what I liked:The book had an interesting premise: it's about both first contact and aging (or the lack thereof - almost like time travel). Some of the concepts the explored about extra-terrestials were quite novel, blowing away some of the widely-held beliefs that were put in place by the li...
So, this book was like going a second date with someone, even though the first date wasn't that great. I mean, he was kind of a tool, but not so much of a tool that it send me scrambling out the bathroom window before the entrees arrived. He clearly flosses, but it's hard to say whether that's a goo...
