3.0 out of 5 stars
Mediocrity between mystery and sci-fi,
By M-I-K-E 2theD "2theD" (The Big Mango, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The House That Stood Still (Mass Market Paperback)
A.E. van Vogt - Amazing sci-fi writer. He should stick to it.
This novel reads fairly like a mystery/SF. If it was written primarily as a mystery book, it would have been too strange to be any good. If it was written primarily as a SF book, then it would have been too 'Sherlock Holmes-like' to be any good. So somewhere between all the mediocrity lays this book. The clues to the culprit in the plot are so vague that the culprit could be anyone, whether they are introduced in the book already or yet to be. Scour the shelves and find a better van Vogt than this. Could I recommonend Voyage of the Space Beagle (AMAZING!) |
