From the mind of The Master

Advantages: A very entertaining award winning story
Disadvantages: Not to everybodys taste

This is a work from the mind of the master. I well remember the day that I got this book. Asimov had not been writing very much Science Fiction recently and I was haunting my favourite shop for any new works that I could fine by any favourite author. I stopped to talk with the owner who was a friend. I had been buying from him for years and this was his Third shop. A trade representative happened to be with him, showing him this advanced copy, and ...
...also a bit downcast as the official release date was not for a long time. All three of us got to talking and the rep gave his copy to my bookkeeper friend. This copy was clearly written on "Not for sale". Smiling he turned away to look at other books on display. My friend gave me the book, and as he was not selling and I was not buying, I made him a gift of forty pence. Would you believe the approximate price of a new book? This copy went ... more

A challenging and very rewarding read

Advantages: A compelling, ever-so-alien environment challenges your imagination
Disadvantages: The first and third chapters pale compared to the second

...I can honestly say that The Gods Themselves is my favourite. The joy of reading, as opposed to, say, watching a film or going to the theatre, is that the images conjured up belong solely to the book's reader. The experience is made even more rewarding when the environments and characters involved in the book are so unusual as to really stretch one's imagination. This only really hit home with me when I read this particular book. The Gods Themselves ...
...being set on Earth and the second set in a parallel universe. It is in the description of this parallel universe, so *very* different to our own, that Asimov truly excels himself. It's not just a case of it being a doppelganger universe, similar to our own but in which history is changed. This is a completely alien universe, with the story set on a completely alien world, and with apparently alien laws of physics. The master of sci-fi has really ...

The Master Storyteller's Trademark

Advantages: Early suspense hooking the interest of the reader
Disadvantages: Excessive description of the surroundings in some parts of the story

The Gods Themselves makes one realize the great difference of reading a book story from watching a film. Hard-to-imagine sceneries can only come up in one's own imagination which cannot be captured by any film director. At the outset, the story revolves around a certain relationship between two environments, one presumably that of earth and the other of a different planet or dimensional plane. What caught my curiousity, as to continue reading, was ...
...it a direct reference to the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. As I finished reading the second of the three-part series, realization hit me that the digest I was holding intentionally excluded the third and final part. And since it was an imported magazine, the anti-climax is still lingering in my head until now, meaning, I still have to get hold of the missing third part. The search for the third part goes on for I am sure that it was truly the trademark ...
