Conceptually this novel promised everything I want from an experimental meta-novel about near-future science fiction and its relation to literary fiction and post-apocalyptic fiction and... and all kinds of things! But I struggled to make it to the en ...more |

Oh my god this was complete garbage. OR WAS IT?!?!? I'm honestly not sure if I understand what genre it might be. Like, wtf? I wrote: I feel I might do a podcast review of this, even though I only got a few chapters in, because it's so absurdly writt ...more |

"The Lies of Locke Lamora comes highly recommended as a fun and funny novel.
I usually enjoy competence porn, but Locke Lamora rubbed me the wrong way. The same way I never liked candid camera shows. It was too cocky and took to long to pay the price." Read more of this review » |

2.5 stars. It would be great if I was into noir detective stories, but it's not really my thing. Aside from that it would be good if it had lots of new ideas, but it's a mix of previous Reynolds novels with a bit of Chasm City, a bit of Pushing Ice, ...more |

Yes, but only when I forget all the stuff I didn't like about the last few books.

I just found a list of Naval Science Fiction http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/31...
I guess it really is a thing. Not that I'd put Ender's Game in there, as that novel at least attempts to come up with a new analogy for space battles rather than doing everything possible to construct a world onto which the tactics and command of 19th century naval battles can be mapped exactly.
Hello Luke. Podcast-listener here. I really enjoy SFBRP. Your passionate British accent and your love for sci-fi shines though. You have inspired me to read more science fiction because till recently I was only into fantasy. Thank you for becoming goodreads friend.
Hey Luke! See you're reading The Hobbit. So sorry. Read that for a Sci-fi/Fantasy lit class in college and could barely finish it.Have you given Metro 2033 a look? It's a russian post-apocalyptic science fiction number. Real bleak. You'd love it.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for becoming my Goodreads friend.Eric

Hello Luke!Thanks for wanting to become my friend. :)
Please take a moment to check out my debut novel, Her Sanctuary which is doing quite well and is available at many bookstore websites including amazon.com where you can "look inside" for a sneak preview.
Please feel free to peruse my profile and see what I'm currently working on.
I look forward to exchanging book recs with you and chatting about, oh, I don't know, whatever comes to mind. :)
Thanks again!
Hey Luke, I'm a long time listener (or at least I've listened to all the SFBRP pod-casts) and finally have gotten around to 'friending' you. Thanks so much for your reviews. They're always thoughtful, passionate and entertaining. Completely agree with your review of Sawyer, except for the last part. I have to live in the same country as the guy, that should be punishment enough -- don't make me read him!
Starshipsofa twittered a 45 min interview with Alastair Reynolds. Guess what, he likes Book of the New Sun, but Schismatic is a favorite (around 19 min in). http://bit.ly/9DoPeq
