Summary: Best book I have ever read.
Review: This book, I think, is done beautifully. I believe everything about this book is perfectly done. i suggest this book to anyone. Even those of you who hate Sci-Fi, I think there is something in the book you will like. Be it, the diversity of the characters or the altered science way of telling the story. Anyone who is looking for a book they will not be able to put down needs to look no more. Again I repeat, this is the best book and story I have ever read for more reasons than one.

Summary: A unique acheivement
Review: What I really love about this book isn't necessarily the characters, the plot, the writer's style -- all these things are satisfactory, but the reason recommend this book to all fans of science fiction is that it's an exemplary example of what science fiction really is: a literary work that explores the possibilities of science. In this case, however, the science isn't our own modern science, but the physics of Aristotle and the astronomy of Ptolemy. By attacking the genre from an unusual perspective, the author has produced a treat for fans of science fiction, as well as students of physics.
