As a short story, for in comparison to his other works it is short, this was a great read. I think that this book really shows that there comes point when life scrapes away all the façades we make, we are forced to realize who we actually are and if our beliefs match reality. I think this was a good read! (

I really liked Paolini's first novel in his so called Fractalverse, "To Sleep in a Sea of Stars". But I absolutely hated this second entry. I almost think one star is too much but I just can't bring myself to rate it lower than Mary Gentle's "Architecture of Desire" which remains, to this day, the most singularly frustrating and infuriating book I've ever read. So one lone star it will be for this, Paolini's "Fractal Noise". This book is an unhappy, depressing slog, full of entirely unlikable characters, and an ending so anticlimactic it literally gave me a headache out of anger and disappointment. Spoiler alert: this is a story about four mentally unstable assholes walking for miles on an inhospitable alien planet just to stare at a giant hole in the ground. (

This psychodramatic novel presupposes that by 2234 we'll have faster-than-light travel, extra-solar colonies, mind uploading ("ship minds), aging reversal, and many other wonders. It tells of a group of scientists, afflicted with severe animosities toward each other, making an arduous and misery-laden journey across a newly surveyed exoplanet marked by a mammoth, mysterious, ultra-noisy, artifactual hole in its surface. Despite all its negativities, the story is quite suspenseful -- one might even say gripping.

3.5 stars. A lot of misery for one character to find his purpose. Never learned a damned thing about the aliens. (

2023 book #53. 2023. Four humans struggle across a hostile planet to investigate the giant hole they saw from space. After many words and much angst they find the hole and it's a big hole. What a waste of time this book was. (
