Blue Pyramid 1,276 Best Books of All Time

aulsmith : I love the elephant and the boa constrictor, but the book as a whole doesn't really gel.

merrystar : This makes a much better short story than novel.

aulsmith : I still like some of the stories, but a recent re-reading showed the sexism I missed as a child.

aulsmith : A slog.

aulsmith : Bradley is really not that good a writer.

aulsmith : It's okay, but not a best of all time

aulsmith : A pot-boiler. Why this one as opposed to others?

aulsmith : One of my least favorite books in this series. Try Mirror Dance or Centaguarda instead.

aulsmith : A fun memoir, but certainly not in the best of all time class.

aulsmith : Too long, too disjoint and too new to be a best book of all time.

aulsmith : It's just not a well-structured novel. It's got a lot of interesting stuff, but after reading it twice, I still can't figure out how it all makes sense together.

aulsmith : Fun, but not a book I'd call "best"

aulsmith : Another bad Heinlein.

aulsmith : One of Heinlein's worst.

aulsmith : Too misogynist to be a best book

aulsmith : The misogyny makes this virtually unreadable for modern women.

aulsmith : I like Kerouac, but I'd read the novel as published, and I'm not sure it's going to last for "all time".
