Book Review - City

[ValisX]

less of a review and more of a general recommendation.

great review!

reading "The World That Couldn't Be" now. it's amazing.

also i disagree with your statement - "Though many would not consider him that great now".

The first book I ever read by Simak was A Choice of Gods, which seems similar to City, but City definitely is superior in writing. You are right. His books after the 70s kind of lost their edge.

I think writers like Arthur C. Clark, Poul Anderson and Heinlein weren't half as talented as the soft sci-fi writers like Robert Silverberg, Ray Bradbury, and Simak. I found their works more literary and enjoyable to read.

Special Deleverance thats a great simak book.

It is a wondeful novel,thanks for the review.

Your taste in science fiction is commendable. Clifford D. Simak has always appealed to me. His stories soothe me and take me on a magic carpet ride through space and time. I love "Huddling Place". Keep up the good reading!

It's nice to meet another fan. My brother and I really like his work XD

Sorry Pal but you don´t know nothing about Simak and his novel City...

How do you mean?

[Klaidux123]

I think 'Simak' is pronounced like 'Saimek' am I right?

[oleksiypilyugin]

@Klaidux123 think so too

I love these book reviews and that sounds great!

I think I might do "The Word For World is Forest" by Ursula K LeGuin

[ghostwriter511]

Thanks. I read my first book by Ursula K. LeGuin just a few months ago, "The Left Hand of Darkness," and it was a damn good book, so I'll definitely check out that one.

[AdamHintz]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to get my hands on it. Seems like an easy read.

[ghostwriter511]

For the price and availability, it's a great one to pick up.

I remember "The Giver" from grade 5. Highly recommended. "After Dachau" was great btw! Thanks for the recommendation.
