![]() ![]() I tried to use it as the foundation of my Master's thesis but my advisor said there was too much to say about it and to save it for my PhD.Īnd yet I can't review it. I gave a little seminar thing on it once. ![]() I've read it numerous times and own several copies although it's out of print. Not quite sure if I'm going to invest the time in reading the next one in the series The Lazarus Effect or not. I truly believe the book could have been trimmed by half and it would have been much more impactful.įor me, when the authors (and by the way, having read a lot of Herbert, I do have to credit Ransom for making the writing both less annoying-because it's not quite as confounding as Herbert alone-and more annoying-because of the poetry) tackle the scenes with Ship and examine what it means to be an all-knowing, all-seeing omnipotent God and what it means to be aware of that God and Its power, well, then the narrative just sings.īut all the stuff around it? Ugh. There is so much going on in this novel, not all of it necessary. There's times this novel absolutely captured and engrossed me, and there were times when my eyes slid over the words without retaining anything, because it was nse? Boring? Overly confusing? All of the above? ![]()
