Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Mar 21, 2007 Type: User Review Loads of fun!

I just loved this book. From start to finish it was flat out great. The characters were all interesting and deep (as opposed to superficial cliches), and the plot had some clever twists and neat puzzles. It was fun solving those puzzles along...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Apr 07, 2007 Type: User Review Doesn't live up to its own standard

The blurb in the front of this book doesn't quite cover the gist of the story, only describing the first two chapters. In a nutshell, four orphan children face the trials of becoming secret spies at a private school located on an island. It is...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Dec 13, 1996 Type: User Review An outstanding account of WWII, in a human manor.

Billy Pilgram has come unstuck in time. That is the first line of one of the most powerful anti-war book I have ever read. Vonnegut tells the story of Billy Pilgram, a POW in WWII, based on his own experience as the same. He approches this...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Oct 19, 1998 Type: User Review Interesting subject, overrated style

Though this book had an intriguing premise and a fairly unique concept (becoming "unstuck" in time), the intrusion of the book's self-proclaimed author during the Billy Pilgrim story grew tiresome. As another reviewer said, this book is...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Nov 15, 1998 Type: User Review Well Written but overrated

This is a well written, engaging sort of book. The story, such as it is (there's not much here), is told in a bright, likable style. It's hard to imagine anyone actually hating this. Having said all that, though, it's also true that this is a...

From: Posted: Sep 05, 2005 Type: User Review Didn't like Eric Nylund's style, although William Dietz was good.

A friend has this box set, so I borrowed the book "The Fall of Reach". Oh, dear God. I just thought the guy had no clue how to write, so he just slapped togeather a bunch of clichs with WAY too much detail into stuff like how the guns are. Some...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Mar 06, 2006 Type: User Review Sparked My Interest, Guilty of Tease

All three of the stories were written well and the plots unfolded in riviting fashion as one who had played the game would expect. However, with that said, I must state that one of my primary expectations weren't met, or even addressed.

From: Posted: Aug 10, 2007 Type: User Review Gibson's anger is the spectre that haunts Spook Country

This would have been a much more interesting book had Gibson kept his anger about America and America in Iraq out of it. He derails the story about halfway through, unable to contain his opinions any longer and takes some interesting characters...

Where is the contemplation in this "classic"?
This book, though an interesting insight into one man's thinking and life journey, certainly did not seem to merit the hype it has received.

It seemed very whiney and a little condescending,...

Cat's Cradle started off well enough and flowed easily, then it took a turn for the silly and outlandish. I must admit that K.V.Jr is a very intelligent man, and behind his somewhat unremarkable dialogue there is a very large message here. This...

Before you get cross with me for the 2 star rating - give me a chance to explain.
1.) I devoured the (3) previous HALO novels. I most liked First Strike, Fall of Reach was a close second, & Flood a distant third.
2.) Eric Nylund...
