1.0 out of 5 stars
Clearly written on contract,
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The History of Science Fiction (Single Title : Social Studies) (Paperback)
This is an amateurish attempt at a history of science fiction for school children. The author seems to have little to no knowledge or interest in science fiction. Factual errors abound. And there is virtually no recent material in this book. It's published in 2000, but most everything is pre-1990.
I suspect someone submitted a low-ball bid to write this book. That's what it looks like.

when was this book written?,

This review is from: The History of Science Fiction (Single Title : Social Studies) (Paperback)
There is a weird section of the book where current up and coming science fiction authors are described. The intent of the section is surely good. But it talks about people like Frank Herbert, the author of the Dune series. Say what?! Herbert wrote Dune in the mid 60s, and it immediately became famous. Miller's book was published in 2000. Yet not only was Herbert famous by 2000, he was also dead by then!
So when did Miller actually write his musings? |
