GR Review: Slipstream by Michael Offutt

I have recently received Michael Offutt's Slipstream as a free Giveaway on GoodReads First Read

I've never been good at introductions, so I'll just cut to the chase...

Michael's debut novel looks like a very good promise for future writings.
There are quite some features that he combined successfully in turning a nice story, like, and not stopping at, good overall pacing of the action, building the tension, building like-able characters, creating a deep dystopic world, and so on.

There are also a couple of ideas that didn't quite catch on me, and a few things that I really didn't like. Nevertheless, overall it was a pleasant read.


Circul continua. Painea cand o sa vina?

Dan Dobos, Norman Spinrad, mare dreptate ati avut in viziunile voastre.
In Romania, urmeaza DEMNET.


Despre cum sa-ti faci antireclama

Am mici indoieli, dar cred ca ne este specific noua, romanilor...
E vorba de o firma de curierat, o sa incerc sa nu dau nume...

Situatie: se strica o componenta a unui utilaj.

guest post de pe Jurnal de Povesti:


Acum vreo cateva saptamani planuiam sa public o postare cu numele "pe ultima suta de metri". Ne pregateam de venirea Mirunei, dar ea tot nepregatiti ne-a prins.

Vineri, 3 august, dimineata (8:30 - 9:00) - apar primele contractii. Plec de la serviciu, dar am timp sa fac unele cumparaturi. Doctorul spune sa mergem la spital, pentru ca mai sta o ora si apoi iese din garda.
