Summary: Another Good Read by Modesitt
Review: Modesitt turns out another solid book in Gravity Dreams. Those of you who read Parafaith War will find some plot elements to be similar. In Gravity Dreams, Tyndel finds himself sunk into a technology he was taught to believe was "demon's work." Tyndel's learning to deal with his new reality covers 98% of the book. The final section where he has to meet a god-like being was a bit contrived, but emphasized just how far Tyndel progressed in understanding himself.

Summary: Thats almost the way I like it :)
Review: The first time I read this book, I found it good, but nothing special. More like an addition to both the Recluse and the Eco series. The major drawback of the book is that the plot is dragging as there is simply not enough action. Especially not when compared with The Parafaith War, which I had read a few weeks before this one (If you haven't read the Parafaith War yet DO IT). Two weeks ago I read Gravity Dreams again and, being prepared for the lack of action, I loved it. It's extremely wellwritten with characters that really comes to life.

Summary: Same old formula
Review: The plot of this book is almost indistinguishable from that of "The Parafaith War". Once again, a strong man who is alienated from the society in which he finds himself is helped by a stronger woman to come to terms with it and is rewarded by being made immortal. What makes the book attractive despite this is, as usual, the well thought-out society and the convincing detail.

Summary: Excellent Read
Review: This was the first book I'd ever read by Modesitt. Boy, was I glad I'd found him! He's an excellent writer and philosopher. I found that the plot helped propel Modesitt's thoughts and comments on society (rather than his story standing alone). Reading his books made me really think about society, an individual's role in society, and what society's role is. (Should society care about the individual?) A highly recommended read for anyone interested in thinking.

Summary: A good book(this from a action junkie)
Review: While in Norway, and traveling all over the country, I had a lot of time on my hands, visiting the few good book stores in Oslo, i found a limited selection(but still impressive for a non english speaking country) of books in english, among them was Gravity Dreams, I decide to give it a shot, mainly because of lack of other good choices. I have to say that I am a action junkie, I often feel cheated if someone doesn't die in at least the first twenty pages of the book. After reading this book, I was glad I picked it up, this was one of the best books I have ever read. The book is more about self-discovering and how someone from a backwatar society blends in with a advanced space faring society. The book presents some very great ideas on how a futuristic society should be. Overall the book concentrates on the development of the main character and his struggles to come to terms with his new life. For your average action fans this book my seem bit dry, but for anyone who wants some really good plot and character development then this is a the book for you.
