Spectra The Garden of Rama

Bom livro

Un cambio radical en la forma de continuar la saga, adentrandose en la psicologia humana y tratando de entender posibles viajes largos en el espacio. Gran libro.

Garden of Rama ist die Fortsetzung die mir noch gefehlt hat. Das Buch ist genauso spannend wie die vorhergehenden Bücher der Serie

a great idea for the close of a lovely series, Arthur c clarke was a great writer

The title is a little misleading. I don't know if you'd classs this review as containing spoilers or not so apologies to anyone this spoils it for - I wont tell you detail but as the title of this review says it doesn't exactly reveal Rama in the way I had envisaged. don't get me wrong it's another slice of the story and I had to read it as I wanted to know more. It's well written and the story holds together reasonably well. the things I'd like to know about this trilogy (I presume it is only a trilogy) is how much each of the authors contributed and which 'bits' were theirs? Id also have liked some answers - they might have been in there somewhere but I'm just to dense to realise it. However if they were in there I'd like them to have been simpler to spot. The truth is I doubt there are any answers in it. It would have been to difficult to explain in detail - a bit like God and the old chestnut ....;if there's a God who or what created Him?' and so it could have gone on with Rama - who knows how many volumes there would end up being. As for the over all story... Vol 1 It started off just like I like them - mysterious and descriptive. ended on a bit of a 'what next?' moment - not a cliff hangar but close. Vol2 More tension and background - I suspect written a bit later and at the same time as vol 3 because the 'style' is slightly different - perhaps more like any old story in a novel - setting up everything for 'the big reveal' vol 3 more in the line of vol 2 (both of which seem less "awesome sci fi moments" and more politically correct love story - perhaps that's an over simplification but I did feel at times that 'yes, I get it now get back to the story' Perhaps I was bit miffed because the first book promised so much and the subsequent 2 each went further and further in a different direction and relied on a bit of a cop out of mysterious substances..... ACID TEST: Would I buy again - at the moment I doubt it
