5.0 out of 5 stars Clones, Chimps, and death angels, oh my!, December 8, 2001

Fantastic book. When I was given the book, I assumed, judging by the cover, that it was a comedy. And it was, in a manner of speaking. But it was also an engrossing sf story, with allegorical tales of revolutionary chimps and a moral not unlike Stranger in a Strange Land. Clone, in my books, earned every one of those five stars, and then some.

4.0 out of 5 stars Humour of the wonderful, June 15, 2000

By 

Tony Crisp "Cristolfo" (Swansea, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clone (Paperback)

This was my first Cowper book. The story is so full of humour and also what I call good old science fiction that I loved it. In fact I have read it about three times, and probably will again. My only dissapointment was the ending, which I thought a bit lame considering the possibilities of a sort of gestalt superman who is the hero. But if you want to be taken out of yourself, here is a good read.
