Lumina by M. John Harrison

whimsicalmeerkat's review against another edition

3.0

I enjoyed this, but it certainly wasn't as easy to read as some other science fiction I have loved. It leans a bit more towards science and math jargon, but without in any way sacrificing plot. Most of the characters had a sad, desperate vulnerability that I liked a lot.

rocketiza's review against another edition

1.0

So much unnecessary pratter. This 400 page novel could have been easily done in 50-100 pages, and actually had a driving and compelling plot rather than a meandering, boring collection of events. The real kicker was the author lazily tying everything together in about the last 5 pages to say OK! Time for the real action to start!

O poveste interesanta cu influente din P.K. Dick cu stilul de scris al lui Gibson. Desi mi-a placut Neuromantul, nu-mi place cum scrie Gibson, de-asta si 3 stele pentru Lumina. Traducerea in romana e dezastroasa cu greseli gramaticale si de ortografie, ceva cu care m-am obisnuit la editura Tritonic. Daca reusiti sa treceti peste neajunsurile astea, este o carte chiar placuta! Acum trebuie sa gasesc continuarea [b:Nova Swing|19181638|Nova Swing (Kefahuchi Tract, #2)|M.
