Summary: Sheffield blows me away!!
Review: This hard sci-fi novel had me captured from the first page. What I initially considered fast paced quickly seemed incomprehensibly miniscule in the grand scheme of time and space. I am a newbie at reading hard sci-fi, but if all the novels I read even come close to the effect this book had on my way of thinking, then I'm in for no disappointment. It was confusing at times and sometimes a little disjunct but overall, very enjoyable.

Summary: Thought-provoking science fiction
Review: This is one of those books which after you finish it leaves you thinking. After I was done my mind raced all over the place with the possibilities of possibilities. I liked it so much that I bought it and make it a point to read my favorite passages every so often. I highly recommend this book to anyone who not only likes science fiction but also enjoys thinking about the future and all the possibilities of life.

Summary: Very good but not perfect..
Review: This was a well written book, however, it did have flaws. The best part is the start of the book. The author does an exellent job of creating a bond between the reader and the book's main characters. As the book continues, it loses focus a bit and drifts from topic to topic. Sheffield's gift for creating clear and poignent mental imagery is all that holds it together in the last chapters. It is an interesting and quality reading, but don't expect to be held by the plot elements described on the back cover.

Summary: An epic book.
Review: Tomorrow and tomorrow is one of the finest book's I've ever read. Even though it's two stories in one, Sheffield looses none of the aspects of any of the stories, you still feel for the main character and can understand the evolution of the universe... I shouldn't really be writing a review, I can hardly describe the proportions of this book. I loved it, but it's not for someone without empathy for the characters or who can't understand the science, otherwise, it's amazing. This and "Assemblers of Infinity" are the two best books I've read in a long time, I wish there were more like this.

Summary: Two different stories; both enjoyable
Review: Tomorrow and Tomorrow is really two stories in one book. I didn't figure this out until a few weeks after I had finished the book. After an absolutely compelling beginning dealing with one man's relationship with his wife and his attempt to deal, through cryopreservation, with her impending fatal illness, the story then propels the characters so far into the future that the relationship loses center stage. At this point the book becomes a very different story; a scientific exploration of the cosmological future of the universe. If you don't make make the switch when the book does, you may find yourself wondering, as I did, where did this great initial story go.Looking back (after realizing that there are basically two separate stories tied together here), both stories are very skillfully told. I have read numerous books dealing with the cosmological end of the universe, so the impact this book made wasn't initially very strong. But doing some comparative evaluation made me realize that the scientific cosmology here was done very well, better than most books dealing with this topic. If this is a relatively new idea to a reader, I'll bet he/she would be impressed. If you want to see the first story continue on to a satisfying conclusion, you will be a bit disappointed (like I was), but that's not what the book is about. The first half does an excellent job of getting you to the second half which I think is what the author really was writing about. As long as you don't mind the first story fading into the background and realize that the second half of the book is significantly different from the first half, this is an impressive book. And even if you don't make the whole leap from one story to the other, reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow is still time very enjoyably spent.

Summary: Science OK, storyline fair, vision poor...
Review: Trying to cover billions of years (from now until the end of universe) in several hundred pages story is not an easy task. Charles Sheffield vision of future 500 years from now is still believable, but when he try to expand his vision to millions and billions in the far future is another story. Eventhough the physical/astronomical background is good (he even provided it in the appendix), his description of far future humanity is shallow and does not make sense at least for me. Nevertheless, this is still an easy read story for anyone who loves sci-fi book.
