Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I received this book as a Library Thing Early Reviewers giveaway. I really enjoyed this book. Although I am not generally a fan of this genre, this book definitely kept my attention. I liked the creative storyline. I hope he writes a sequel. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Very confusing cyber punk space opera. I really had no clue what was happening. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. Interesting is the best way to describe this novel. It was poetic in a way. The scenes were fantastically described. Despite the story being bizarre and somewhat cryptic (which some readers would be put off by) I felt engaged due to the lyrical voice.Sci Fi / Literary readers may enjoy. Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten. I received this book as an LT Early Review give away. I love mixed genre books and Close Your Eyes is a perfect example for me. If I had to describe it I would probably go for Fantastical SciFi, with a tinge of Cyberpunk, or maybe Post Cyberpunk and for some people there might be a smidge of horror / suspense. A lot of concepts from different specific genres are used in this book without any explanation. This does not bother me at all or even better I am grateful that it is expected of the reader to know what is going instead of a rambling explanation. If you do not have any previous readings (or understanding) of concepts like AI, human-machine interfaces, virtual reality and maybe even singularity (the IT variety), you might struggle with the story. The same is true if you have a hard time with fantastical or mythical stories. For me the combination worked extremely well and I did not have a boring moment in the whole book. The only minor let down for me was the end. Not that the ending was bad, but for me the story could have continued longer. I am not left with hugely open questions, but I could easily see more explorations of this world. But maybe Paul Jessup is working on a sequel, which I would snap up the moment it hits the shops. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Language is a virus. Open this book. Read the words. Feel them infect you. Identity is a disease. Flip the pages. Stay up all night. Watch it transform you. You cannot deny it. You cannot close your eyes and shut out the changes. You know you want to. You really want to. But it's too late. You can't. Critically acclaimed author of weird fiction Paul Jessup sends puppets to speak and fight for their masters. Welcome to a far future universe that stretches the imagination to breaking, where a ragtag crew of post-human scavengers rage and love on a small ship in the outer reaches of space, and moon-sized asylums trap the unwary in a labyrinth of experimentation in both identity and sanity. Welcome to Close Your Eyes, a mind expanding surrealistic space opera that not only includes the out-of-print classic Open Your Eyes, but takes it to whole new level in a much awaited sequel. Go ahead. Pick it up. Read it. Let it infect you. "A beautiful, fractured story of beautiful, fractured people in prose powerful enough that it feels fired from a shotgun." - Jon Hollins, author of the Dragon Lords trilogy Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Go in to reading this book as if you were simply a fly on the wall, as an observer. Do not try to solve anything. Do not try to figure anything out. It will all come to you.
And don't try to escape uninfected. It's impossible. From page one, the sakre is inside you. Don't try to hide from it. Don't close your eyes. ( )
