Al met al is The Wan een veelbelovend Engelstalig debuut Het heeft genoeg klassieke sciencefictionelementen om de lezer die daar naar op zoek is tevreden te houden zonder te vervallen in oppervlakkige karakters of al te zwaar te leunen op een technisch concept De Wan zijn bizar genoeg om te fascineren maar menselijk genoeg om herkenbaar te blijven De roman is een uitgekiende mix van plotelementen die goed met elkaar in balans zijn Aan haar techniek valt hier en daar best nog wat te schaven maar dat neemt niet weg The Wan is een roman is die de lezer met een voldaan gevoel zal achterlaten. Book the wonderful things you will be Volledige recensie op Hebban 9781939056108 Lots of good ideas in here though perhaps not all of them are as developed as they could be and what characters can do at any one time can be frustratingly dependent on what the plot needs them to do or not do Ing in particular strikes me as becoming conveniently implausibly stupid whenever Firdaus needs to appear intelligent I do like the alien world though and I especially like the link between knowledge and consumption which I thought was explored really well 9781939056108 My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me and not an evaluation of literary merit entertainment value social importance humor insightfulness scientific accuracy creative vigor suspensefulness of plot depth of characters vitality of theme excitement of climax satisfaction of ending or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit 9781939056108 Bo Balder draws the reader into a compelling alien world where humans are scrabbling to live in a harsh colony. The winx saga cast What if memories could be transferred in a bite of flesh What if you personality were an amalgamation of everyone you d ever consumed What if your life span was extended beyond the human span Would you still be human Could you use your alien mind set to save a doomed colony. Book the wonder by emma donoghue Excellent strange and thought provoking SF 9781939056108
