The Soul of Science Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The start of an excellent series. Very inventive and cohesive. "

" An intriguing book. The idea of being transferred into a different world and a different body is so different from reality. The authors imagination was amazing and his realization for each character at the end of the book was cleverly thought out. "

" One of the most awesome sci-fi books ever written!!! "

" Read this in the Navy on Diego Garcia. What did it lead to. I own every book Chalker wrote, around 40 and I've read all but about two of them. I even have a few letters he sent me when I mailed him some questions and the letters are on his MIRAGE Press letterhead. Chalker is not Shakespeare, but he takes you on a rollercoaster ride every time. "

" I devoured the Well Of Souls in late high school, thirty years ago. Today I still remember snippets and ponder the meanings. Worth a look. Warning, lots of sex here. "

" Well of Souls is a genre defining series of books. It's "science advanced enough is indistinguishable from magic" meme is one I love. Overall these are very good books, good pacing, interesting characters, and a brilliantly visualized universe. "

" A collection of odd characters accidentally discover the world where the first sentient beings in the universe designed and created all other life forms in the universe (including humans) as a vast experiment. A crazy quest adventure with quite a bit of weird sex. "

" My favorite series from one of my favorite SciFi authors. Read all five and then move on to the Four Lords of the Diamond or the Riders of Flux series. "

" Jack L. Chalker wrote science fiction for an age that was unafraid of big ideas and outrageous premises. And I love him for that. "

" Liked it - a lot of it was infodumpy, with characters explaining the backstory for almost entire chapters. But, for some reason, I didn't mind. Usually that kind of thing really annoys me, but in this instance I was quite happy. "

" One of the greatest science fiction novels I have ever read. A truly unique, mind-bending setting. "

" One of my all time favorite sci-fi books! I've read it 3 times I think over the years. "

" this was one of the most hardcore scifi ancient space race books that I have read. Some interesting ideas, but the storylines were disjoint and the ending became a kind of god figurehead that really lost track of things for me. "

" I remember this mainly for deciding the kid in my psychology class was Nathan Brazil. Jordan Macknick, if you're out there, I'm available. "

" Loved it. This is the first book in the series and I am looking forward to reading the rest of them. "

" An all time favorite. Imaginative. Intelligent. And so open to follow ons(obviously, given the four plus three plus two that did follow...). "

" I really liked this book. I read the first 8 pages and was hooked. There are 7 in the series. I am starting the second one today. The writer is very creative and even blasphemous, I mean God has sex with a Centaur as a Stag!... I will say no more. If this interest you, I highly recommend it. "

" Fantasy/Sci-fi books are my favorite genre. I particularly like the character of Nathan Brazil and how he ends up on the Well World. There are quite an imaginative number of creatures throughout the book, and I'm looking forward to reading more in the series. "

" A cool concept, but the story frequently felt formulaic and obvious. "

" First series I ever read, I am very glad I have re-read it. I enjoyed it on a whole different level at my current age. "

" An even and thoughtful exploration of science that reaches to the fridge, and nonsense that skitters out into the darkness of absurdity. With so much confusion about what really is science, this book helps clarify this distinction while honestly pointing out some of science's missteps. "

" The first chapter was kind interesting. The rest was just a long winded history lesson on Wallace and Darwin that had nothing to do with the borderlands of science. "

" Ever wonder how things become science..... "

" Disappointing follow-up to Why people Believe Weird Things that, regrettably, never gets off the ground. At no point did the book push any of my intellectual buttons. Eminently skippable. "

" This book read like the ocean; when the tide was in, the material rocked, but it always slipped back out of fascination. Two things make it worth reading however: the other books it references, and the fact that the author biked 2600 miles coast to coast in 8 days. Good God!! "

" Good ideas but needed substantial editing "
