review 1: great promise, wonderful imagination! I just came to dislike the 'voice' of the main character towards the end. the book /character required you to make some pretty fantastic logical jumps that I didn't feel were either warranted or helpful to the story. started great, left me with a slightly sour taste, which read made worse by going onto the author's website and reading some pseudo-scientific anti-human/technoligical progress comments. would definitely recommend to those that love Avatar.
review 2: The story details what happens to Dr Hera Melhuish, a research scientist, when she remains behind alone on a lush alien planet - Paradise - for a short period to complete her work. The Space Council has decided to abandon their attempts to colonise the planet after... more crop failures and other setbacks. Hera soon becomes aware that the flora is fighting back against the intruders. She and Mack, who comes to her rescue, are nicely developed characters and the imaginative descriptions of the plant and tree life are carefully articulated. It is a book about our relationship with the world we live in but it is also about human relationships. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and my only slight criticism is that it is a little over long but I don't hesitate to give it five stars. less
