review 1: I got this in the clearance section at the book store because I was looking for a book about people faced with climate change in a history. I love historical fiction and I thought his approach of pushing the same characters through time and giving different examples of how similar situations could play out. The thing I didn't like about this book was the excessive, obsessive sex. I like to have some sex in a story and I even agree that sex is a huge driving force in our evolution but I just think he should have touched on s few other things as well.
review 2: If you liked the other four Geodyssey books, you'll probably like this one too - but just as in the most recent time-delayed entry in the Incarnations series, the author is WAAAAY too obsessed with sex ... moreand shoves it into almost every page. I felt that the writing and stories suffered for that, as not a single chapter went by that sex and/or rape wasn't critical to the storyline (i.e. Man won't "rape" Woman so she won't marry him, Girl flees naked to distract bad guys, etc.). The settings weren't as interesting or as well-fleshed-out as in prior books, which is likely due to the author going from having a fulltime research assistant to using notes and Wikipedia to finish up this novel. While I can appreciate that he is feeling his age and wants to wrap up some unfinished projects, I feel that Piers needs to take a step back from his dirty fantasies and think about what he's writing and whether it is what he really wants to be remembered for when he's gone. less
