-- The best science fiction and fantasy written. The kinds of
books which people outside our little geek community have actually
read and enjoyed.
-- The
best in the category. Books we think define a style or genre of
sci-fi or fantasy.
-- A
superb book. Usually rewarding for any sci-fi or fantasy fan,
and will often have fanatical advocates.
-- The
typical Hugo or Nebula award winner for best novel.
-- A
very good book.
-- This is territory where the reader's
personal tastes matter quite alot. If it's your cup of tea you'll
probably love it, otherwise it might leave you a bit flat. Usually
good books to read in an airport or on a long road trip.
-- You
might like this book. You might not. We can't tell.
-- We
didn't like this book. ("I don't like you either. You better
watch yourself. I've got the death sentence on ten systems."
"I'll be careful." "You'll be dead!")
-- What
was the publisher thinking?
-- While
not much use as reading material, you might be able to use this
as kindling, or to build a dike, or maybe as ballast on a hot
air balloon.
