Nova Swing Audiobook

" Not as much fun as his book "Light". This one is more fragmented, less plot and more description. A very unique view, like watching a movie through thick broken glass - many incredibly and tantalizingly clear glimpses none of whose edges match. A very talented writer. "

" Compared to Light, a bit more serial. The conventions of Noir are evident, albeit a bit strange so far in the future. I liked the way Harrison really made you feel the loneliness of the Bar patrons in particular, and the main cast in general. An okay read overall. "

" SF Noir sounded like a good idea. Tempted repeatedly to give up, but kept reading in hopes of finding some explanation, or at least more detailed descriptions, for the SF components. None to be found. No point, either. "

" Very odd, very different, but unique and fun to read! "

" much better on re-read "

" I need to read it again, it's one of those you get more out of on second or third reading. But it was pretty wild. I've heard that some people who didn't get it actually got angry about it. "

" A cleaver, but flawed trip into unreality. The doomed characters trudge through the novel, never truly finding what they are looking for. Read a roadside picnic instead, you will be glad you did. "

" You kind of need to read Light in order to wrap your head around some of these concepts in the book. I enjoyed it, though it's more of a one-time-read. Now that I think about it, most of the books I have would fall into that category. "

" Nova Swing is only vaguely a sequel to Light and quite a different, smaller, more intimate story. Sci-fi noir with style and substance and an impressive rogues gallery (some with a badge) that Harrison brings to life with little strokes of flaw and regret. "

" I don't know. I liked "Light" a lot, but "Nova Swing" read like homework. I felt like I was supposed to get something big out of the book, but I got bored after a while. Rarely do I feel like I'm trudging to the end of the book, but I did with "Nova Swing." Glad it's over. "

" Poetry. Hard to read, bits at a time, and maybe that's why. A universe created out of random word constructions and combinations, and done well. Thanks Niles District Library and Michigan eLibrary! "

" Seemed a little less punchy than white cat (Light). But then maybe I was still in shock from reading the first one. "

" Harrison's an excellent writer, and this book has bears his trademark dreamy obscurantism. Could be that I just wasn't in the mood for it, but I found the characters unengaging, the ideas brilliant but cold, and the plot slow and frustrating. "

" Really didn't like it "

" The sequel to "Light." Not as good as light, but, so far, everything that Harrison writes is wonderful. "

" Read it, though I forced myself to. Not a good sign then, I guess. "

" Tekee scifille saman minkä Viriconium teki fantasialle. Jos tykkäät Tarkovskin Stalkerista, tykkäät tästä. "
