Solaris is a great psychological thriller. A refreshing change from the other worldliness of The God of Light. It's was a quick read, for the exception of when the main character was off in the library. I feel light so many books has its filler material, well this one was obvious. Either way, I really enjoyed this read and it really got me thinking.

A solid sci-fi classic, but not my favorite. The plot was decent, and the characters developed well. However, I just didn't like the main character. I was going to read the full Heechee series, but I think I will move on the the next sci-fi book on my list.

What a truly entertaining and thought provoking book. The true testament of a science fiction book is it's staying power. This book is 60 years old and is still entertaining and relevant, even though we do not live in the mutually assured destruction of the cold water any more. If you enjoy science fiction, you should put this on your list.

I didn't even start following the plot until a third into the book. The plot didn't even get going until 2/3rds in. I didn't really care about most the characters. And the plot fizzled out and had no impact on the world. The ending was so lame, it's akin to "and then I awoke from a dream."

This trilogy is my one of my top fantasy series now. I will miss greatly spending time with FitzChivalry, Nighteyes, the Fool, and all the other characters in the book. If you are a fan of fantasy novels, the Farseer Trilogy should be the next one on your list.

This is the saddest, most depressing endings to one of the best books I've ever read. The Empire Strikes Back doesn't hold a candle to this book. I can't wait to start the next book, except for the fact that it's the last book. These books are so good I wish they were as long as Wheel of Time.

This book of the series, overall was not my favorite. It gets three stars for some really great sections, but book taken as a whole wasn't that good. It didn't even seem to start with any plot until I was 75% in. It is as if Douglas Adams (and I will do some research to find out if this is true or not) was having a bad year, was pissed off that the world, and decided to write this book. I am curious on what I will find in the sixth book written by Erin Colfer and in Salmon of Doubt.

I'm re-reading this series via audiobook. Which is great because dry, British humor is better consumed with a British accent.
