Coherent and Interesting
A acquired this book a while ago from a local used book shop, and only afterward read the comments by the previous reviewer. After that, I dispaired of opening its covers. But was I in for a surprise. The book is lucid, coherent, and engaging. It is well written, at times amusing, and if you let it, thought provoking. I can hardly believe that the...

Dr. Orpheus? More like Dr. Orifice
Dr. Orpheus is nothing more than a crude, softcore porn covered in context through witty lingo, clever symbolism, and disturbing subliminal messages. Worst book I've ever read but kind of arousing.

Coherent and Interesting,
By Timothy J. Joko-Veltman "Tim" (Brasilia, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Orpheus (Croyd Spacetime Maneuvres, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
A acquired this book a while ago from a local used book shop, and only afterward read the comments by the previous reviewer. After that, I dispaired of opening its covers.
But was I in for a surprise. The book is lucid, coherent, and engaging. It is well written, at times amusing, and if you let it, thought provoking. I can hardly believe that the previous reviewer actually read the same book; if I were the editor of a soft porn press, I would dismiss this book out of hand: there can't be more than 3 erotic words in the entire book. It's focus is decidedly fixed on time-travel, what it means to be human, and the results of the loss of free will. Of course, it's extremely difficult to really thoroughly deal with such topics on under 250 pages, but Wallace does an admirable job in opening the window.
