Adrian's Reviews > Spin

Wow, where to start. Well I've just added it to my "favourites" shelf, added the 2 sequels to my TBR and given it 5 stars, so that could be some indication of my thoughts.

I've read other peoples reviews of this book and it's almost like we were reading different novels, but then I suppose that's why we are all different.

Personally it reminded me of AC Clarke books, well written, great characterisation and believable technology. What I also liked were the little things, like the conversations; they weren't stilted or used to explain or describe something, they were believable and natural, and so it felt like you were part of the book, listening in. This is the 2nd RCW book I have read, and like the first, I got to the stage where I had to read on, luckily its Sunday, so I could sit in the garden, in the sun, drinking coffee (or actually forgetting my coffee, yes it was that good a book) and just keep ploughing on. Although it wasn't "ploughing". I was there, I was part of it and the last 100 pages whizzed by in a blur of excitement, expectation and turning pages. I couldn't read it fast enough.

So now I have assimilate what I've read, I already know it will be one of my favourites of 2018, but given how good it was I think I shall have to change genre for a while or I will be disappointed by what I read next.

For anyone who likes Arthur C's writing then I think this is a must for you, for others try it and see, I will (almost) understand if you fail to be as entranced as me.
