5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet read, 4 Mar 2002
This review is from: Blood (Paperback)
I had no trouble reading this. It has some of the cadences of Faulkner and other Southern writers and it is to that tradition clearly that the book
looks. It has some of that lazy worldliness, that relish for the exotic in human beings, that characterises Welty and McCullers. This and WAR AMONGST THE ANGELS are true 'Southern fantasies'.
FABULOUS HARBORS is a kind of bridge. This is Moorcock at his most surreal and existentialist. You won't find anything else this good described as science fantasy. Packed with enough material for a dozen other books. A real sense of what it must be like to dwell in a 'multiverse'. A great novel of ideas -- and lush romanticism!

4.0 out of 5 stars Should have been the last book, 30 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood (Paperback)
If FABULOUS HARBOURS had been the first book in this sequence I would have understood a lot sooner how these various layers of reality work. You are given very little help from the author. WAR AMONG THE ANGELS is a glorious ending and just as wild as BLOOD, but it seems more coherent. Could it be that Mr Moorcock, as in THE FINAL PROGRAMME, didn't quite know where he was going with a new experiment and only got into his stride by the second book. There's not too many old gentlemen like him willing to jump into fresh and dangerous waters, so I give him a B for bravery, if nothing else! And let's face it, he pulled the sequence off with a vengeance, just as he did the Cornelius Quartet. But I would recommend other readers try FABULOUS HARBORS, with its superb riffs on popular myths and fiction, before doing BLOOD, then WAR. Mr Moorcock might have had a grand plan and I might be too dumb to see it and it might be like advising Beethoven to change the sequence of the 6th symphony around a bit -- open with a good thunderstorm &c &c, but if ENJOYMENT is what you want, take my advice. It'll all be worth it just for the finale. No matter how crazy it gets, just as in Mother London, somehow Moorcock roots you firmly in the important realities of human experience and the aspirations of the human spirit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Moorcock far from his best, 20 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Blood (Paperback)
In spite of this books setting (the Deep South) and the apperance of one of Moorcock's best and most important characters (The Rose) I found BLOOD unengaging and, frankly, quite dull. Admittedly it contains Moorcock's brilliant surrealism (what is the Second Ether? How can the Rose be half plant/ half woman?) and the flesh crafting creatures are perfect but it was just too surreal and confusing. But this book must be read to truly appreciate the brilliant FABULOUS HARBOURS and WAR AMONGST THE ANGELS. The story is better depicted (albeit in a slightly different form) in Michael Moorcock's Multiverse.
