How do you define "Human"? (Reflections of Hope Write-Off)

by   AdaDavis ,  May 12, 2001

The Book That Taught

by   owlfan ,  Sep 30, 2000
Pros: Well-written, stimulating sci-fi adventure stories with personal focus.
Cons: Cons? What cons?
Review: I am a longtime SF reader, but somehow I had bypassed this fine short-story collection until a few years ago. It was the first book a new girlfriend recommended when we started dating. This wasn't just because it was a good book, however; she felt it...

The Reader Who Read

by   luminari ,  Jun 30, 2000
Pros: A rare and magical book.
Cons: Don't read it on a work night.
Review: This is one of 'those' books that keeps you up late at night until dots dance in front of your eyes and somewhere in the back of your mind you know you will be worthless at work in a few hours, but it doesn't matter because right now you are truly...

1st in a series you'll love to read again & again!

by   trakemdn ,  Dec 21, 1999
Pros: "The Ship Who Sang" is immensely enjoyable and entertaining!
Cons: The only drawback to "The Ship Who Sang" is that it isn't longer!
Review: Having a choice, to live physically disadvantaged and pitied, or to live with adventure and daring? Helga's choice is to become the only brain-ship who sings. Her choice of brawns may leave you wondering...until you read on.
Another McCaffrey...

"God Spare Me a Woman's Tears": We Are All of Us Shell People

by   panguitch , top reviewer in Books at Epinions.com ,  Feb 12, 2008
Pros: It digs deep into its hero's emotions.
Cons: It only superficially roused mine.
The Bottom Line: The characters are great, but the episodic stories didn't coalesce into a meaningful whole for me.
Review: As a kid I spent summers at my grandparents, long days alone, playing in irrigation ditches and the hedges and apple orchard behind their house, or lying on the living room couch, sunlight warming me through the drapes, a Dragonriders of Pern novel in my ...
