A review by jam51
The Space Opera Renaissance by David G. Hartwell, Kathryn Cramer

3.0

Read the overlong and ponderous Intro last night. Boy, is this a "dense" book! The editors need editors, IMHO. Some good info on the history of the term "space opera", but way too much verbiage. At 900+ pages, this paperback book is a real "heavyweight". Hopefully, the quality of writing of at least some of the short stories will make the strain of holding the book worthwhile! Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and get an eReader, if only for the "light weight" factor!
