5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, May 9, 2006
This review is from: Far Rainbow (Paperback)
There's a great deal of good things to say about this book and the writing style of brothers Strugatsky, but what captures one as an experienced sci-fi reader is what they, authors, leave for the reader to think about. Despite the hardest conflicts that get in the way of human exploration of Universe, and the best arguments, the authors somehow bring their reader yet to another crossroad that poses both, a new question and a solution; to remind us once more that, without persistence of a thirsty mind, and sometimes hard mistakes, progress and knowledge are impossible. The crossroad is what the book (like most of their books) is all about - questioning, occasionally with an amazing precise sense of humor, the very foundation of humanity, with it's doubts and achievements. This reading is very deep, and the more you read it, the more depth is revealed (read it 5 times myself, both in Russian and English). Would not mention any details, because it is a spoiler:) The translation is great, and will suit anyone looking for a mind adventure. I sincerely hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Poka!
