I was thrilled to find this, one of my all-time favorites, available on CD, and what's more, read by Spider Robinson himself. This one, for me, is a touchstone, a talisman and a promise. It's one of my favorite pie-in-the-sky utopias, and I've read it countless times. Listening to Robinson read it brought a whole new perspective. His timing is impeccable, his jokes are funnier spoken, and I could really hear Charlie speaking through him. Even his goofy accents are endearing. Highly recommended. I didn't really get into the first half of the book too much. It was good enough to keep me reading, but just wasn't my sort of thing. The second half, and the ending, was awesome. I've only read Time Pressure by Spider alone to compare to, but if you've not read anything by him yet, I'd go with Time Pressure first. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Shara Drummond was a gifted dancer and a brilliant choreographer, but she could not pursue her dream of dancing on Earth. So she went to space, creating a new art form in three dimensions. And when the aliens arrived, there was only one way to prove that the human race deserved not just to survive, but to reach the stars. The only hope was Shara, with her stardance. The Hugo and Nebula Awardâ??winning Stardance series pioneered the concept of zero gravity dance, which even sparked the interest of NASA and shortlisted co-author Jeanne Robinson for a seat on a space shuttle to become the first actual freefall dancer in space. Though the Challenger explosion cancelled that dream, now Jeanne is being given a second chance to choreograph dance in space ... on film. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It won the Hugo and the Nebula, and was an admirable effort, but it's not one of my favorites. I never thought that Spider's female characters were multidimensional, and I was disappointed to see that the addition of his wife didn't really change that.
It's a good story, and a great concept. ( )
