Book Reviews of Veniss Underground
Book Review: Another great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jeff VanderMeer is finally available in the US from a major publisher!
The text of the novel is the same as from the previous editions
(published by an smaller independent publisher in this US and by Tor in
the UK). However, this new edition contains material not previously
available in US editions, namely shorter length fiction set in the same
far future Earth as the novel. This extra material is also available in
VanderMeer's excellent collection Secret Life (which contains many
great stories besides the few duplicated in this edition of Veniss).
As for the novel itself, many other reviewers have done it justice
here, so I won't go deep into it. It's a real page turner once you get
settled in to the author's cadence. The style and rhythm of the prose
will get under your skin and influence your mood and reaction to the
characters in the story. It's remarkable how VanderMeer does this,
really. Readers of some of VanderMeer's more...contemplative fiction
might be surprised how lean and fast paced his prose is here.
The last sections of the novel are real hell ride--in a good way! I
won't soon forget this story, and I'm certain I'll be reading it again
before too long. You don't want to miss VanderMeer, and Veniss
Underground is a great place to start.
