3.0 out of 5 stars The least of WIllis' books, but still better than most, 8 Mar 2003
By M. J. Farncombe "m_farncombe" (Guildford UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Uncharted Territory (Mass Market Paperback)
So you're an explorer. You're on a virtually uncharted planet with a colleague (who you love/hate) a materialist native, a star-struck tourist and a vast, staggeringly inept and politically-correct bureaucracy. Can you write a book in which nothing much happens, and yet still make it funny, witty, insightful and memorable?

Ms Willis can, but that will not come as a surprise to fans of her later (and better) books such as 'Fire Watch' (my favourite), 'Doomsday Book' and 'To Say Nothing Of The Dog'. As with all her books, it's a love story, and although it's an inconsequential little thing it's still better than most fantasies.

I don't think I would recommend that you start here (try Bellweather) but if you like Ms Willis' works, it's worth reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars Although the characters are interesting, the book is boring., 15 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Uncharted Territory (Mass Market Paperback)
Connie Willis has done 100 times better with humor in Bellwether. Thankfully, the book is short because not much ever really happens. There are minor surprises and discoveries along the way but I hoping something exciting would happen and was disappointed.
