20 Sci-Fi & Fantasy Books From Three Centuries, Ranked

I think it's kind of unambiguously racist and yes, it was of the time, blah. My other beef is that it is simply a boring book.

these are all very short stories. They're all almost all of them great and hard to describe. There's a couple of them that are standouts.

I love this book... It's one of my favorite books that I've read in a long time.

I've never read a book like this. I don't anticipate ever reading a book like this again. ... it is an amazing piece of writing.

Some of it was a little bit clunky and some of it was excellent. ... I respect the project a lot and I do think that it is worth reading.

it's so incredibly good. ... This is way underrated. This should be a lot more famous than it is.

And I think this is totally shockingly good. Covers so much ground in such a short amount of time.

I thought this was so goddamn annoying. It is racist. It's super clumsy. It's boring and self-indulgent.

Starriter by Doris Pacersia I think is great. ... I think it's fantastically good.

Lioness by Jack Vance is S tier. This book is so underrated.

I really don't have a lot to say about this other than it pissed me off and I found it irritating and derivative of a bunch of other dystopian stuff that I've read.

I'll give it a C. It's fine. It's not the strongest Vanvoke that I've read.

I really didn't get along with her style at all. ... I found it stylistically for some reason almost impenetrable and I could not focus on it.

I thought that it was highs and lows that even out to something that's kind of meddling.

I think The Invisible Man is probably my favorite single character in an HD Wells book. It is at times a little bit boring, which is its reputation, but I think that it deserves a little bit more praise than it typically gets.

This is like the platonic ideal of Sword and Planet stuff to me. I obviously like it way more than I like the source material.

It's my first O'Brien, and I thought that it was excellent. ... I remember liking this book a lot.

I was a little bit surprised. I didn't really like it very much.

Overall, this was a deeply middling book that I wanted to like a lot more than I did. Although the high points of the characterization of Lucifer are great and the depiction of hell is very interesting.

It succeeded in building atmosphere. It did not succeed in building and sustaining and paying out tension in a way that was effective.
