They are less talky and feature more completely realized characters.<i> The Star Beast, Citizen of the Galaxy, Farmer in the Sky,Red Planet...</i><br />The satire is funnier, to boot. <br /><br />The sequels to the stunning <i>Neuromancer</i> are weaker and contribute nothing integral to any plot resolution: potboilers, pure and simple.<br />In fact, <b>Gibson</b>'s career has displayed a downward arc in general. Too bad, as he is the finest prose stylst to ever write pulp SF.carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177252137876173884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903848080840259127.post-29275513169453826092007-07-22T14:19:00.000+08:002007-07-22T14:19:00.000+08:00Stranger in a Strange Land is somewhat over hyped....<A HREF="http://robert-heinlein-fansite.blogspot.com/2007/07/stranger-in-strange-land-overhyped.html" REL="nofollow">Stranger in a Strange Land</A> is somewhat over hyped. First half is generally good; later I found rather mundane.<BR/><BR/>I will also recommend "Moon is a Harsh Mistress" - only thing wrong with it is the title. It's the story of a revolution - anti-Imperialism kind, & very well told.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903848080840259127.post-81205418516009038672007-07-20T07:07:00.000+08:002007-07-20T07:07:00.000+08:00The other Heinlein novel I was interested in readi...The other Heinlein novel I was interested in reading (but haven't gotten to) was Stranger in a Strange Land.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02773038335190893557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903848080840259127.post-58796823409705157182007-07-19T23:04:00.000+08:002007-07-19T23:04:00.000+08:00thanks for the heads up on this!try also heinlein'...thanks for the heads up on this!<BR/><BR/>try also heinlein's <B>the moon is a harsh mistress</B> and <B>citizen of the galaxy</B>, if you can get hold of them. and of course, <B>the green hills of earth</B> collection. rhysling is one of my all-time favorite fictional storytellers (or, well, bards, technically).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
