Beautifully written by an often over-looked writer, a few twists and turns keep you going to the end.

Forget Lord of the Rings, it was for his kids, this is the real Tolkien. The mother of all epics.

A fantastic read from a fantastic author, having many films made from his books, read this one for its ending.

Arthur C.Clarke said it was the most powerful work of imagination ever written. That man does not choose his words lightly. What kind of imagination had Stapledon to write this ?

A relative newcomer on the block and an aside for hardcore philosophers. This is the kind of book anyone can pick up and enjoy and get into philosophy.

A quaint little story with intersting characters. It's just a little off mainstream to make it interesting enough to recommend.

Essentially a boys book. If anyone was ever a little boy and wide eyed at the wonder of the world then so was Bradbury.

This book is so full-crammed of ideas about the next 100 years that you wonder why you never thought of them yourself. A little Sci-fi mixed with a lot of common sense.

Forget the film, the book is much superior, a tale recounted by a cimber, first and foremost, but what a story. What a life !

Again, a great idea, almost completely captured by the film. Is he, isn't he ?

Honestly, this is a great read, please give it 50 pages or so and it becomes a fascinating read, of hardship on the sea and survival through any means. The true story behind Moby Dick and many others.

Anyone who is interested in exploration or true stories will be enthralled by the story of Crean, especially his time with Shakleton on the expedition to the South Pole. What a man.
