Book Reviews of Judas Unchained
Book Review: Once again Peter F Hamilton leaves me bereft
Summary: 5 Stars
After leaving Ozzie and Company on the brink in Pandora's Star my nerves were shot. Peter Hamiltons ability to get you inside the characters and wish you are one of them is almost super-natural, his understanding of the Human condition on all the different levels is consistently supprising. My favorite character Ozzie and his friendship with Orion and the alien Tochee made me choke up more than once, and if you know what Tochee looks like you can see the considerable word skills used by Peter Hamilton, I believe the author has the observational ability of an eagle and the composition skills the likes of Lucas and Spielberg. To continually make stories this good you need special access into emotional areas most of us dare not go, it's a credit to Peter that he continues to tap this important resource. Judas Unchained and his other works are permanent items on my bookshelf, and if you need an introduction to Mr Peter F Hamilton, this Commonwealth Saga is the bench mark I judge all others...Book Review: Come on Peter, you used to be better than this!
Summary: 2 Stars
Peter Hamilton obviously tried REALLY hard to pad out this book, it takes ages to finally get going. Nothing like the quality of his first book or even the next two. I suggest he stops writing until he gets bored of spending the money and starts to really think again. Until then he is just going through the motions.
