I just came to dislike the 'voice' of the main character towards the end. the book /character required you to make some pretty fantastic logical jumps that I didn't feel were either warranted or helpful to the story. started great, left me with a slightly sour taste, which read made worse by going onto the author's website and reading some pseudo-scientific anti-human/technoligical progress comments. would definitely recommend to those that love Avatar. ( ) I loved this book. It is set up as a frame story with an author telling of her writing of a biography of a famous biologist and her escape from a planet. Not only does the book contain the frame, but within the frame, the biologist tells tales written by another story teller. This story brings to life the impossible planet Paradise and shows the author to have a truly unique imagination. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Something has gone wrong on the planet of Paradise. The human settlers - farmers and scientists - are finding that their crops won't grow and their lives are becoming more and more dangerous. The indigenous plant life - never entirely safe - is changing in unpredictable ways, and the imported plantings wither and die. And so the order is given - Paradise will be abandoned. All personnel will be removed and reassigned. And all human presence on the planet will be disestablished. Not all agree with the decision. There are some who believe that Paradise has more to offer the human race. That the planet is not finished with the intruders, and that the risks of staying are outweighed by the possible rewards. And so the leader of the research team and one of the demolition workers set off on a journey across the planet. Along the way they will encounter the last of the near-mythical Dendron, the vicious Reapers and the deadly Tattersall Weeds as they embark on an adventure which will bring them closer to nature, to each other and, eventually, to Paradise.
