In spite of the odd narrative diversions and crummy colouring this is a perfect graphic novel. Brilliantly drawn characters and a mind-boggling plot. Speculative fiction of the highest order.

Mesmerising psycho-evolutionary nonsense.

Basically an existentialist 'Groundhog Day' but over a span of 20 years. Lonely, painful, amazing.

Nowhere will you find a more seamless integration of hard-science and plot. In a sense the definitive SF novel. Engaging, powerful, poignant.

I don't entirely know why i enjoyed this book so much. I just couldnt put it down. Was a very easy read with some sparkling characters and a nice kinda moral message.

Numerous short stories narrated within a frame story (e.g. canterbury tales). A whole host of different sci-fi genres covered here. Very well written.

Loved the style this was written in. A wonderfully resigned and irreverant yet humane attitude to fatality and the atrocities of war.

Dystopian fiction minus the totalitarian government. About books, love and loneliness. Not a hardcore SF but well thought-out and well written.

An unbearably bleak completely enveloping vision of apocalypse. Inescapable and heartbreaking.

Eerie 'slipstream' novel. Basically just a ghost story but with a dark, expansive, metaphysical premise.

A vision of the universe so expansive that the entire human race is less than the tiniest blip. some brilliant ideas, but you'll be lucky to finish it without getting frustrated and giving up.

The sci-fi equivalent of the gold rush mixed with extensive psychoanalysis. Highly commendable hard SF and generally solid literature but overall nothing amazing.
