Rating: Summary: A really wonderful sci-fi book Review: I read the book in chinese edition.Jony was a brave and clever hero.I like the world created by the author.Also I think we should protect the earth in good condition,it's our only home.
Rating: Summary: The book captivated me from page one to the end. Review: One of the greatest books of all time, is what my dad told me. I was sceptical at first, but it turned into a great saga of sci-fi entertainment.
Rating: Summary: One of the Best, You'll be sorry it ends Review: This is a great book!. I hesitantly started it with a pregdice against the aurthor, and he totally won me over.One insignificant man, in the tradition of The Hobbit, changes the world and the known universe, by sticking to his pronciples and great selflessness. Indiana Jones, Fights in Independance Day. I GROKKED this book in completeness.
Rating: Summary: Could very well be the "bible" of modern science fiction Review: This book has everything that one has come to expect from a master storyteller. Excitement, intrigue, humor, love, politics... its all contained in this absolutley fantastic book. Buy it, read it, and then read it again. it gets better each time. Roddy Mcdowall does the story justice, with his reading. Thoroughly enjoyable and engaging.
Rating: Summary: What a ride! A fantastic novel for any SF fan! Review: Hubbard demonstrates his mastery of the art of writing a fantastic story in this magnificent adventure. It will capture you from page 1 and give you a journey like none other. This is a must read for any SF fan. L. Ron Hubbard was one of the best of the genre! I read this book several years ago, and it still tops my list as the best I have ever read in SF! Way to go Hubbard!
Rating: Summary: Woohoo Review: This book is fantastic, great, and wonderful. This book is a bible to all who want to write in the future. The characters are almost real enough to touch and the book is impossible to put down. I just got done reading it two times in a row.
Rating: Summary: fun/good....but don't take it so seriously. Review: O.K. You take yourself really seriously. You have no sense of humor, and you think that sci-fi books are a real boor. This book isn't for you. I've come to the conclusion that if you don't pre-judge this book and have an open mind about it, you can really enjoy it. I thought it was a good read, even if it isn't the most realistic scenario. But if you are a little jaded and synical about this book (or any book for that matter) you are probably not going to enjoy it. Read it and enjoy! I did.
Rating: Summary: Don't believe the hype. That's all it is. Review: I have only two explanations for the number of 5-star reviews for this over-sized dime novel. Either the Scientologists are ordering their flock to put good reviews on the Net, or mass hysteria/stupidity has enveloped large parts of the nation. "The best book ever written?!" My God! Hubbard can't even get his subjects and verbs to agree. Of course you can't really trust reviews that still use the idiotic neologism "sci-fi", so that knocks half the reviews out of contention. People, I beg of you. Avoid this book. Waste not your time precious. L. Ron. Hubbard's work is just a mediocre imitation of the work of Philip K. Dick. And this book is the greatest example of his mediocrity.
Rating: Summary: Not Just for Sci-Fi Lovers Review: A friend recommended this book to me and it turned out to be one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. The text was so easy to read and flowed so well that it felt more like someone was telling me a great story than me reading a book. I've tried again and again to get my friends to read this book but they believe that only someone who is hardcore sci-fi could get into it. NOT SO. If you like adventure, romance, tragedy, and just about component that could make a book great, then buy it. I know many are skeptical about L. Ron Hubbard. Let's face it, in his later years, he doesn't have much of a track record, but let me tell you that you will be surprised to find that he has written a masterpiece. Don't let the name put you off. Read it for yourself. END
Rating: Summary: One of the best sci-fi books ever written Review: Hubbard once again blew me away with this thrilling saga of the near extinction of the human race and one man's race to save our planet from infestation by a planet destroying swarm of bone-chilling, militant aliens. Absoloutely a five star book, once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down.
