5.0 out of 5 stars Best Dancer, 30 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Legends At The End Of Time (Tale of the Eternal Champion) (Paperback)
I prefer these short stories to the novels. They are just as funny but a bit sharper. Dancers at the End of Time is, in the end, just another play on the old Adam and Eve theme, while these are witty, pithy, sardonic. Pale Roses is probably the best of them all and worth getting the book for. The characters who intrigued you in Dancers at the End of Time are shown in greater sharpness and depth. The Elric parody -- one of several parodies Moorcock has done of his own fantasy -- is hilarious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fading Passion, 28 Nov 2001
This review is from: Legends At The End Of Time (Tale of the Eternal Champion) (Paperback)
By the time Moorcock came to write the last novel in this sequence (The Resurrection of Miss Mavis Ming in its original title, here Consuming Passion) he was tiring of his idea. The Dancers at the End of Time trilogy, the first three novellas in this collectrion and Elric at the End of Time were all written before Consuming Passion and they have a liveliness Miss Ming's love story lacks. It is almost as if Moorcock has tried to write a modernist novel of character in a Doctor Who landscape. Laboured is not often a word you find yourself using to describe MM, but in comparison to the delightful final flowering of his fin-de-univers stories, the longest story in this book can be described thus. However, the other stories are so very good I'm giving the book full marks anyway. Superior reading and an inspiration to Adams, Pratchett and all the other fantasy humorists who followed Moorcock in his delight for the paradoxical and highly unlikely.
As often with Moorcock -- the first and the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars P G Wodehouse at the End of Time?, 8 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Legends At The End Of Time (Tale of the Eternal Champion) (Paperback)
Treading water between epics, Michael Moorcock here offers us a collection of five short (ish) stories, all taking place within the decadent setting he first introduced to us in "The Dancers at the End of Time" cycle. These stories all span the same time period as the above collection, and take place during Jherek Carnelian and Amelia Underwood's voyages away from the end of time. Consequently neither of them feature in any of the narratives, apart from the odd line of dialogue referring to them. This collection has been described as Woodhouse crossed with Brecht. Certainly there is a lightness of touch here but unfortunately the writing style starts to feel a little laboured by the time you get to the fourth, and longest, segment. Keep going, though - the last story, Elric at the End of Time, is very funny, reveals several interesting new facts about the multiverse, and serves to confirm this collection's place in the 'Eternal Champion' cycle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not for teenagers!!
Since Moorcock began writing, a whole teenage market has grown up around him. This tends to associate his fantasy novels with the young adult market. Read more
