false <![CDATA[Islands in the Sky]]> 56726 17 The story of 'Island in the Sky' centers around a young man, who, after brilliantly winning a space-related competition, requests a vacation on a space station as his prize. It is written with Arthur C. Clark's obvious knowledge of science, but moves at a page turning rate througout the entire narrative. The short novel gives a realistic possiblilty of work and play in future space, hightened with constant excitment and action. Charater development is very good, as are the not-overdone (but still awsome) visual descriptions. 1582592 1952 Islands in the Sky total:140|5:22|4:51|3:56|2:8|1:3| 140 501 186 10 1589603 0839825161 9780839825166 1 1 Islands in the Sky (The Gregg Press Science Fiction Series) 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1589603.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 11:39:45 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 29 12:03:50 -0800 2008 more...]]> 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 5 0 false Fri Apr 24 16:54:20 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 05:32:24 -0700 2009 3664780 0451083822 9780451083821 5 2 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3664780.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Fri Sep 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 10:59:38 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 06:33:28 -0700 2009 3664780 0451083822 9780451083821 5 2 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3664780.Islands_in_the_Sky 5 0 false Sat Sep 06 12:54:15 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 27 18:04:43 -0800 2009 more...]]> 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 2 0 false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 05:56:14 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 11:41:22 -0700 2008
There isn't much of a plot here. It really just imagines what life in a space station would be like.

Parts of this were cool. At first the sense of awe was palpable, but then the book goes nowhere.

It was hardly able to hold my interest...]]> 5198043 0451126971 9780451126979 3 1 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5198043.Islands_in_the_Sky 5 0 false Thu Oct 23 08:32:26 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 08:33:26 -0700 2008 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1990 Fri Mar 09 08:48:31 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 08:50:14 -0800 2007 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 5 0 false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Nov 15 14:52:21 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 15 14:53:11 -0800 2007 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 0 0 false Tue Jun 05 08:28:49 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 08:21:22 -0700 2007 http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/21...]]> 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0800 1984 Thu Dec 20 14:18:21 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 20 14:18:43 -0800 2007 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 0 0 false Sun Dec 13 19:32:48 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 13 19:32:48 -0800 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 0 0 false Mon Nov 30 10:55:25 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 10:55:25 -0800 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Sun Nov 22 17:40:16 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 17:40:29 -0800 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 4 0 false Wed Nov 18 16:35:49 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 16:35:49 -0800 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 4 0 false Sun Nov 15 18:00:26 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 18:00:26 -0800 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Wed Oct 21 21:09:44 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 21:09:44 -0700 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 5 0 false Sun Oct 18 16:36:12 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 16:36:12 -0700 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 4 0 false Sun Oct 18 14:13:18 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 14:13:18 -0700 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 3 0 false Tue Oct 06 16:59:33 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 16:59:33 -0700 2009 56726 0451098234 9780451098238 129 6 Islands in the Sky 3.58 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56726.Islands_in_the_Sky 0 0 false Sat Sep 26 23:14:34 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 26 23:14:34 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=56726
