5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for any SF fan,

or anyone developing an interest in the field.Extensive, well researched and with the right amount of leftfield entries not to patronise anyone who already classes as an SF expert while simultaneously being accessible enough to encourage anyone with an interest in reading more widely than the bestsellers in the genre. Superbly put together by people who cleary know and love their stuff - the passion comes through and really makes you want to go and raid the library or bookshop. I'm going to be busy for years!

Surprisingly good!,
By
This review is from: 100 Must-Read Science Fiction Novels (Paperback)
As a dyed-in-the-wool hard-core SF enthusiast I treated this Christmas gift with suspicion and skepticism. How could 100 books be squeezed into this little volume?Well of course they cannot, but we are given 100 introductions, synopses, teasers, tasters, and I found myself warming to it because several books I had passed by in the bookshop were revealed to be slightly more tempting, and the words about the books I already owned and loved agreed with my own feelings. The sets of lists of other titles to consider are brief but very useful, and well worth browsing. It also gave me enough info to decide to avoid a few I might have bought by mmistake. So if you wish to run the risk of buying a hundred books (or more) that you had not previously considered then buy this one first. It will inform your choice. For an alternative approach to lists of SF you might also consider the 1984 Complete Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy Lists by Jakubowski and Edwards, less info, but many, many more top titles of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

Must Read More Science Fiction,
By BlankCol (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Must-Read Science Fiction Novels (Paperback)
This is an excellent book. I've read 28 of the titles covered and was delighted to find that there is so much more out there to be discovered.I don't normally like 'list' books, but this is book is more of a map than a menu - there's literally a lifetime's worth of material covered when you include all the 'Read-On' material. Great value, too.
