| A good novel but unfortunately the weakest of the series so far. I loved all of the previous three entries for their excellent portrayal of natural history, dragons as realistic animals, set against adventurous backdrops and a woman's scientific jour ...more | |

A nice and easy read while also quite flawed. I was intrigued by the premise for a while, and while often described as a mix of sci fi and romance, the time travel element is not particularly sci fi like, the focus is of course on the romance. The cha ...more |

Reread this for the first time in probably 15 years, and I'm happy to say it's still as great as I remember. Wildly inventive and cleverly playing with all types of fantasy cliches, this is a properly original novel. It's well known that the Zamonia n ...more |

"You have to read with the idea that this novel is plotless. The richness of the book lies in its prose and the description of the universe.
The book follows the day of six astronauts in a mission. While I was reading it, I felt deeply immerse in the " Read more of this review » |

| Many things about this book shouldn't work. It is an exploration of grief, a story of a hawk, a bit of a history of falconry, a biography of TH White - but for me the seemingly disparate elements worked really well and came together into a meditative ...more | |

| By far the weakest of the trilogy, unfortunately. After the first two books, I was excited to see how the story would continue in the present day, how the Crakers would evolve and deal with the humans alongside them, how Jimmy would integrate with th ...more | |

| Sometimes with classics, you know so much about them that you feel like there's no need to read them - I've seen movie adaptations, studied the themes in school, many scenes have entered public consciousness - and then you finally read it and realise ...more | |
