Tom LA This is one of the best reviews I've ever found on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ.


Manny Thank you Tabasco! I think the cover design matches it remarkably well... you almost wonder if the artist had the same thought :)

Anne Patkau review of Eternity."
Ta. Probably a good thing nobody was around to hear my strange snort-laugh, rumble-giggles, and indescribable snurkle-guffaw-urgles.

I assume this means you read my review after the end of time, when you were the only sentient being left in the universe. It was very thoughtful of you to return to the 21st century to tell me! Have other records from our era survived, or is it just Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ?

C I've always found your reviews closely match my tastes, this review was perfect.


Manny Thank you Caleb! I keep trying to think of something else to say about this book, but it's very difficult.

Carolyn Thanks Manny, you just saved me from wasting $16 on this.


Manny Carolyn, it's a pleasure.

Kyle This review is made better knowing Manny usually has in depth reviews. This one is as in depth as the rest but in two words.


Manny Thank you Kyle. I see you have also sought to grasp the Tao of Eon.

Ab Is this not good? I was about to pick it up :(


Dmitry Having read both your review of this and the sequel I must say, you have little to say but anything at all. Perhaps you enjoy writing. Quaint, but actually useless. What is it you like about science fiction anyway? That you remember a bunch of people who no one else does?

I'm rather offended. I've wasted time reading your blather - we have a great word for it in Russian, bzda - and the only result is that I want to duel. How about you? Anything of substance in there you care to take issue with? Or will you be putting your last 13 iphones to better use on your decrepit furniture?


Manny Dmitry, this is fantastic! I've always wanted to be challenged to a duel! Admittedly I'd hoped it would be over a beautiful woman rather than Greg Bear, but nothing's perfect.

Thomas Always a joy to read an intelligent, well-constructed review one "author" has for another's work. It's almost a sin that nothing you write will ever be remembered.
