Clemens

Worse than the first one, especially the first half is just a boring drag that it felt like I read an even worse book. Lucky that it picked up a bit in the second part and got quite good at the end. Still too little to give this a solid four star rating.

What a spectacular ending, perfect from the first page to the last. By far the best and an amazing ending to this series

Something was lacking in this book, it didn't have the usual bite I expect from his books, while not bad overall, it just didn't live up to the previous book, and not even close to the first book.

I haven't been that wowed by some classical sci-fi book in a long time. This book was really good, just overall really good. I now understand how Dune has such a big fan group. The only Dune I knew before this was the David Lynch movie and it was fantastic abstract. And this book is just so amazing ... and now I want to see Dune again ...

David Foster Wallace appeared on my radar when "Infinite Jest" was all over the internet as the best Sci-Fi novel you have to read, while reading it the parts where he wrote about the Tennis where absolute fascinating. A friend of mine told me I should try to read this.

Well many years have passed and I finally read it and it was so amazing, especially for me who was a huge Tennis fan back in the '90s this is all so amazing. The writing is great (be aware of many many foot notes) and it was all over too soon.

Would I recommend this, hell yeah, those short stories are amazing!
