Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express

Victor Tanasa a dat nota:

3.5* Light spoilers ahead. The Doors of Eden started out great but lost steam about halfway. While we're presented with six POVs, it's disappointing that they don't really grow over the course of the book, which makes the characters quite one dimensional: the lesbian lovers, the government types, the scientist, the baddies. The ending had no tension, as I didn't really care what happened to them. The villain is very weak and unconvincing, with stock bad guy traits like hating transgender people, xenophobia, selfishness and so on. It's also weird how his motivations keep shifting throughout the book, so much so that I couldn't take him seriously. What stands out in this novel is its premise: what if beings with consciousness evolved in different geological eras, Earth's history diverging into multiple timelines, but ultimately somehow becoming connected, at a later date? While this is really cool and I loved the interludes describing the potential species, which were also masterfully integrated in the main narrative, how this is achieved is woefully under-explained, hand-wavy and vague. Characters often describe having achieved something using "math"; that's just not enough. An OK read, but with a lot of missed potential.

Notă biografică

Adrian Tchaikovsky was born in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, and headed off to university in Reading to study psychology and zoology. For reasons unclear even to himself, he subsequently ended up in law. Adrian has since worked as a legal executive in both Reading and Leeds and now writes full time. He also lives in Leeds, with his wife and son. Adrian is a keen live role-player and occasional amateur actor. He has also trained in stage-fighting and keeps no exotic or dangerous pets of any kind - possibly excepting his son.

Adrian is the author of the critically acclaimed Shadows of the Apt series, the Echoes of the Fall series and other novels, novellas and short stories. The Tiger and the Wolf won the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel - and Children of Time won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Best Science Fiction Novel. This was in the award's thirtieth anniversary year.
