[net.sf-lovers] "The Practice Effect"

ZEICHICK%MAINE.BITNET%Berkeley@sri-unix.UUCP (03/27/84)

I just finished David Brin's new "The Practice Effect";
it's a good book, but not as promising as his earlier two.
The book is set in a different context; the hero is a
Earth mathematical physicist who travels to a world with
different physical laws - the "Practice Effect".

Unfortunately, Brin's final explanation for everything -
like in "Sundiver" - is a bit obscure.  He still has his
tendency for too many '!' marks, too.

I wouldn't rate this book as his best - "Startide Rising"
still is that.  However, for $2.75 it's well worth reading.
And I am looking forward to his next book...
