House of Suns Audiobook

" Enjoyable. The grand scale of space and time in this novel gives a sense of wonder. "

" Not one of my favorites by this author, but even his less than stellar books are better than other's best works. "

" A book that's really about the journey. What starts of as a mere space opera, becomes an examination of revenge, paranoia and forgiveness in human society. If your looking for a sci-fi romp, you'll only like the first 250 pages or so, after that the pacing and the focus of the story slows down and changes into something much more interesting. "

" This is a beautiful book. I love how the author approaches the concept of time as a subjective variable. The plot left something to be desired but I admire this novel as a pretty brilliant birds-eye view of civilisation. I hope Reynolds decides to write more in this series... But sometimes a novel is more profound when the reader is left with that sense of longing. "

" When I read this book, (that was a few years ago now, I think it was new then) I was in the middle of a "meh" cycle of not-so-good endings and poor characterization in my science fiction list. This book changed EVERYTHING. Best ending I've read, maybe ever. I loved it. Perhaps some of the stuff was a little hard to follow at the end, but the emotional development of the characters was all that was necessary. I just remember closing the book and thinking - that was cool. "

" This one was a little slow to start off but once it started picking it up was hard to put down. The Revelation Space novels have always been some of my favorite sci-fi books but I think this one rivals it. "

" Not the best Alastair Reynolds book I have read, ended up skipping parts of the book due to predictability/boredom "

" Really enjoyed this one. I was hooked through the whole thing. This book satisfied me and didn't leave me disappointed in in end. Reynolds is one of my new favorite authors. "

" Mind-blowing far-future SF that stretches across millions of years and the entire galaxy; and at its heart, a love story. "

" My second Alastair Reynolds novel, and like my first, I really liked it. Easily 4.5 out of 5 stars for me. I think most who enjoy science fiction will enjoy this. "

" Wow, this book was really good. The concept of the shatterlings and they way they traveled through space and time was very gripping. Talk about your big ideas! I have read most of the Revelation Space series of Reynolds but this one is far better. "

" Another excellent book from Alastair Reynolds. Spans space and time with huge ideas and hard sf. "

" A tour de force of science fiction. Plenty of unexpected twists and turns right up until the end "

" I love everything Alastair Reynolds writes. "

" I really liked this book. It is definitely for the hardcore sci-fi reader. There was a lot of original material in this book and the storyline was energetic and mysterious. "

" Overall an interesting book with lots of good details, but the central plot wasn't very compelling as anything more than a vehicle for the characters/details. "

" what? it's over? is there a sequel? please? this was sci fi in the space way and I enjoyed it thoroughly. "

" Loved it, even though I felt a little dumb with all the physics. "

" Another good Alastair Reynolds book, and I do love Alastair Reynolds. He has fantastically creative and impressive set pieces. As usual I wish the plot and characters all hung together a little bit more but I did care about the characters here. "

" A thoroughly excellent read, from the last half of the book it got to unputdownable status "

" This is a really great book that has lots of science and space in it. The book has everything you could want from a science fiction book. It has ,clones ,robots ,aliens and space ships. I recommend this book to be read by people who like science fiction and space. "

" An excellent book. "you were born too soon" "

" It's ridiculously romantic, but Reynolds talent for big galaxy-spanning space operas is on full display here. This may be his best. "

" A great story, a really nice bit of sci-fi to enjoy. Good book for a long flight, you can lose yourself in the story and (pardon the expression) leave this world for a bit. <br/> "

" A wonderfully complex, brilliantly written book. In general, millennium-spanning novels don't appeal to me, but this one, which covers millions of years of human history, is a notable exception. "

" Wow, this book was really good. The concept of the shatterlings and they way they traveled through space and time was very gripping. Talk about your big ideas! I have read most of the Revelation Space series of Reynolds but this one is far better. "

" Historia de ciencia ficción épica que ocurre en lapsos de millones de años. "

" Starts off a bit slowly, but finishes with a grand flourish. "

" Original story with the intriguing invention of the Lines...families of cloned humans that spend hundreds of thousands years traveling the galaxy and coming together every circuit to share memories. Beautifully imagined and realized world. "

" This would be an epic SciFi Channel series... it was a fun read, somewhat anti-climatic but good for recreational reading. "

" I think this is the best of his books. "

" Not what I've come to expect from Alistair Reynolds. A much narrower scope than his other works and a disappointing ending. "
