review 1: this is a case of 3.5 stars. Roberts writes admirably, in the great tradition of British satirists (as he likes to qualify the narrator of this book). I would have given it four star, if not for an ending which tries too hard to stay consistent with the novel underlying scientific theory -quantum universes. But I flaw so many science fiction novels on that very point that it might well be that I am getting a bit tired of the genre. Yellow Blue Tibia remains an excellent and entertaining reading throughout.
review 2: More than anything, Yellow Blue Tibia reminded me of Atwood, or Orwell. Equal parts a meditation on the nature of science fiction - why people are so drawn to these types of stories, what they reflect about the human experience - and on the nature o... moref the Soviet regime, this book is full of misleadingly simple prose that masks a density and surrealism that's consistent with the very best of dystopian literature. I have some quibbles with the pacing and the plot, which cost Roberts a star, but I would heartily recommend it nonetheless. less
