The Architect of Sleep

Summary: Been waiting 13 years for the sequel
Review: I remember reading this book in 1986 when it first came out. It completely captured by imagination and I spent the next several years asking local book shops if they had any new books by Mr. Boyett. I personally believe it is a crime that a sequel has been written and never published! Someone please publish the sequel to "The Architect of Sleep"!

Summary: A fantastic read!
Review: I was disappointed to find out many years ago that there was no sequel to this book. It is one of my favorite sci-fi fantasy books. Maybe someday, someone will finish this story...

Summary: A must own book!!
Review: I was so pleased to see others enjoyed this book as much as I did! If you are on the fence about buying this book,hesitate no more! Buy it now! The ideas in this book are original, yet the writing is so smooth that you are 40 pages into the book before you know it.The main charactor, Jim, is someone with whom everyone can relate.Unlike some books charactors, Jim does not suddenly evolve from a guy working at a 7-11 into a major political force or brilliant military strategist.He reacts in a way that is realistic and understandable,yet not boring. In a strange world with limited communication skills, he makes mistakes, cries, and sometimes sulks,but never totally loses hope - the same way many of us feel about our own lives.

If you do not yet have this book for your collection,consider your collection incomplete.

Summary: One of my top five all time favorites!
Review: I'm entering these words not so much as a review, but as a prayor that some way, some how Mr. Boyett sees enough of these pleas and decides he has deprived the world of a masterpiece that must be finished.

Summary: The lack of a sequel make this an unfinshed story.
Review: I've just re-read The Architect of Sleep, after coming across it again on a back shelf. A realistic and compelling page-turning view of an alternate universe. But what becomes of the Naked Ape, Truck, Fagin, and the others? The story refers to pending events and unresolved matters, and the end clearly points to a sequel. To find such a tome, I searched amazon.com, but for naught...

The rating of 8 reflects the lack of a sequel to a story that so pointedly needs one.

Summary: two of my favorite things: animals and sign language
Review: It was a pleasant a read because it combined two of my favorite things in life: sign language and animals. I take a stern eye to anything written about them, usually. Does it ring true depsite being creative? Well...

Though the author has a very crude if not totally clueless experience with sign language it was still an interesting read once I got over the way the author refered to sign language (the annoyances are numerous, I won't bother listing them).

The racoons and people I was happy with, being a writer myself who writes about bipedal and talking animals. He got their behaviors, I felt, right on. I could relate to them and see them.

Summary: One of the best "alternate worlds" fantasy stories ever.
Review: It's a shame that the author has never published a sequel to this outstanding book. I read this book 11 years ago when it was first published and am still anxiously waiting to see if a sequel will appear. In my opinion, not a book to be missed by any sci-fi/fantasy lover

Rating:
Summary: a must-read book, if you can find it...
Review: It's a true shame that this book remains out of print (or that its sequels were never printed). This is a fantastic book. I heartily reccommend it to anyone

Summary: I've been waiting 11 yrs for a sequel!
Review: It's too bad that Boyett was never able to publish any sequels to this work. Thoughtful and thought-provoking, he manages to make an alternative world of intelligent, evolved raccoons seem both plausible and interesting. I suggest we all call Ace up and insist that they dig out the next volumes and rush them into print. I read this book when it was just out eleven years ago and have been yearning for follow-ups ever since. It's just a damned shame

Rating:
Summary: Glorious work.
Review: This as well as Ariel rank in my favorites of all time. I read this when it first came out and we all know that it begs for a sequel. I wondering whatever happended to it. Highly recommenced although frustrating that it never ends.
