5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, moving, laugh-out-loud funny, and a joy to read., November 4, 1999

Ron Currens (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Callahan's Legacy (Mass Market Paperback)

Spider Robinson's Callahan's regulars once again save the world from certain destruction. No other author combines puns, palindromes, poetry and prose like Robinson. This book has it all -- sex, music, philosophy, outrageous humor, wonderful characters, and a message. Impossible to read it without having fun -- if you like words, you'll love this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars End of an era?, January 9, 1998

budluskus@earthling.net (York, PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Callahan's Legacy (Mass Market Paperback)

Although not the best books in the "Callahan's" series, my money is on LSTB, Legacy is a very good read. After the initial shock of the impending doom of Mary's Place, the byplay of the characters in recounting the events was interesting and, as always, lots of fun. Wouldn't everyone like the ability to dispose of millions like Buck, or maybe be immune to pain like Acayib? "Callahan's" readers may be a bit disappointed at first, but read on and enjoy. I'm sure we've not heard the last of Jake and the gang yet.

3.0 out of 5 stars the book is a re-hash of old callahan stories, January 9, 2008

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Callahan's Legacy (Mass Market Paperback)

this book is ok. Callahan stories by Spider Robinson are always fun to read and this one is no different. However, the story... the plot... its a re-tread of old Robinson stories. He uses pretty much exact story arcs from past stories.

If you like Spider Robinson, I would totally recommend old Larry Niven short stories from the 1970's. I think that Robinson based Callahan's on a re-occuring Niven character/bar.
