Fantastically huge and highly amusing adventure tale; read it and feel you’ve accomplished something.

Beautifully written tale of apocalypse through the ages, probably the finest piece of literary writing in science fiction.

A puzzle of a book and an unforgettable series of events, which will reward careful reading.

Not one of Lem’s more widely appreciated novels but it struck a chord with me. A mysterious book.

Overlong and a bit silly but also deeply engaging in places, spiritual even...

Raban creates a real sense of place in this enigmatic book.

Can be a difficult read but as a template for radical structure and storytelling this book has few peers. One of my favourite titles too!

Powerful and evocative combination of sharp, clean artwork and masterful script.

Jasperodus is one of the most interesting, philosophical characters I can think of and he's a robot.

I like this more than the Lord of the Rings - it's much more concise and more redolent of the simple thrill of a fantasy quest.
