[lifeblog holiday]

This blog will only be updated about once a month.

I've decided that the time I spent blogging will now be spent mostly on new hobbies; if a jar is full you have to take out something old in order to put in something new.

I'll be back to regular updates in 2011.

The Temporal Void

--
Finished reading The Temporal Void over the weekend, part two in a three part series by Peter F. Hamilton.



I feel that Hamilton's storysmithing abilities have taken a noticeable leap forward with both this and the previous book in the trilogy. His ability to suspend disbelief and to convey emtions in his characters is improved, as a reader I feel closer to the action than with his other books.

The Void gets expounded quite a bit, I kind of feel like a definition of it is enclosing on a kind of inverse moral hazard for people a bit bored of the normal constraints of the universe.

The book is very very good, but not quite as good as the first part in the trilogy however. A four out of five stars read.

I like Hamilton, but as I discussed with R the other day, he has a very Tolkien-esque ability to get lost in sub plots to the detriment of the story.

Still my favourite SF author though
