Summary: One word DEPTH.
Review: I would consider this one of the all around best works of modern fiction. The depth and breadth of the worked that Robinson creates is truly a wonder. Few writers can successfully juggle the complex ideas contained within this book and still present a coherent story. When I started this novel I feared that the level of music theory and physics was going to overshadow the story and make for a dry and boring read. By the end of the third chapter I realized that I was hopelessly hooked and couldn't put the book down. This was not due to an attachment to characters but rather an involvement in the world that I have rarely felt. Let's just hope that no one gets the bad idea to try and make a movie.

Summary: Amazing
Review: Robinson is the only human who could possibly write a novel about a recovering drug addict on a mission from God to accurately represent 10th dimensional physics through music. Music lovers will love it, Physics lovers will love it. Simply grand.

Summary: A great book that attests the power of music!
Review: The concept of creating different mini-worlds around the solar system was ingenious. There were recreations of the Serengeti, the Zagros mountains, among others. The common thread that binds them all is music. If only our world esteemed music in this way!
