This novel of 578 pages could easily have been 478, or even 378 pages. A 1993 Hugo Award Winner, I enjoyed the way it exposed the UK government national health care system as clearly inadequate. I will forever remember the 1961 Hugo Award Winner, Walter M. Miller, Jr's 'A Canticle for Leibowitz.' I will forever remember how long it took me to read Connie Willis' 'Doomsday Book.' (  ) AZBob1951 | Oct 27, 2021 |  Very long, and almost more of a story of dealing with pandemics (influenza in modern times, plague in middle ages). It dragged a little at some points, but was still very good. (  ) KrakenTamer | Oct 23, 2021 | I really enjoyed this book, but I felt like it ended too early. I also felt like it focused too much on the "present" side of the story and not enough on the stuff in the past. ( ) Powerfuldragon | Oct 21, 2021 | I feel like I've lived, breathed and died this book for the last three days and I never want to look at it again. Willis doesn't do anything wrong; in fact, by the laws of writing, this book is almost flawless. But it is also Terrible. Burke calls it "sublime". Whatever it is, I'm glad that tomorrow I can take this book back to the library and never touch it again. ( ) OutOfTheBestBooks | Sep 24, 2021 | A wonderful story from a mediocre writer. In parts boring and repetitive (very!...ok, we get it, you have run out of toilet roll...) and other parts quite devastating, I would recommend it if you can be bothered to stick with it until its end, which is much better than the first 2/3 of the book. Ms Willis could have done with a better editor. Incidentally, my edition of the book had hardly any full stops (periods) in it. I thought it was a device of the story, but no, just terrible, terrible editing (or lack of). ( )1  lucylove73 | Aug 31, 2021 | ContieneHa uno studioHa come guida per lo studente
For Kivrin, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin -- barely of age herself -- finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
