Couldn't stand the principle character,
By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog "Falcata T... - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Artemis (Paperback)
As a fan of Philips writing, I'd been looking forward to this title for quite some time. I love the worlds he creates, the different situations his characters end up in and of course his writing style which feels quite nostalgic especially when added to the covers that Orbit produces to accompany them.However that said, I had one major problem with the current release and that was the lead character, I couldn't stand her and as such it didn't matter how much work had gone into the rest of the project that one major niggle kept me from enjoying the title to the full potential. Don't get me wrong, his usual elements are all there but when I can't stand the principle player, I tend to have a hell of a job reading the title to the end. (I still do it, but it really feels like an uphill slog.) Sadly for me, I prefer other titles by Philip such as Red Claw and Hell Ship but I won't let this title put me off and I'll hope my faith is rewarded in the next book of his to land.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Smart, funny, and a great narrative.,
By M. Butler - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Artemis (Paperback)
Up front, I have to be clear: I'm a huge Palmer fan. I think that his blend of humor and science fiction is exhilarating, and I breathlessly await each new book from this author. Artemis takes place in the same universe as the rest of Palmer's books, but for a variety of reasons it feels more like a sequel to Debatable Space than any of the others. If you enjoyed that book, I don't know why you wouldn't love Artemis as well.Artemis is ostensibly the (edited) autobiography of a famous hero/villain, and I found it to be extremely readable (with hilarious footnotes, to boot). If you're a fan of The Hitchhiker's Guide, The Sheriff of Yrnameer, you should really read Palmer's work. I wouldn't start with this one, since some of Debatable Space would be spoiled by reading this first, but definitely read it at some point if this type of book is your cup of tea. |
