Book Reviews of Lovedeath
Book Review: A masterpiece.
Summary: 5 Stars
As Simmons states in the foreword, a collection of novellas is a great way for a writer to display his range. And LOVEDEATH is ample proof that Simmons can soar with the best of them. From the (John) Irvingesque opener, "Entropy's Bed At Midnight" (whose structure reflects the title), to the horrific AIDS fable, "Dying In Bangkok," to the western folklore style of "Sleeping With Teeth Women" and the SF-cum-thriller of "Flashback" and the metaphysical, ghostly romance of "The Great Lover" (quite possibly one of the best WWI fictions ever written), Simmons dazzles with his wide-ranging story-telling styles and keen eye for detail. A masterpiece.
