Uh-oh... it's getting dark in here... - lean-n-mean-two review

by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Dec 15 '03
Pros: Compelling plot premise, good characterisation and storytelling
Cons: To predictable - lacks real tension
Originally a short story by Isaac Asimov, this novel is the expansion of that story with Asimov being co-authored by Robert Silverberg. Imagine a world with 7 suns, where at least one of them is shining at every hour of the say. Imagine a world where ...

WHEN CIVILIZATION COLLAPSES

by mike.holmes mike.holmes is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Books, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 15 '01
Pros: Great story, well-developed characters and a very good message
Cons: None
Ever been to a movie based on a book that you've read? The result is nearly always disappointment. If the book is rich in characterization with a number of simultaneous plot
running parallel to each other, the movie is set up for failure in the...

And Darkness Falls

by shroud , Dec 05 '07
Pros: one of the most iconic stories of the genre ever written
Cons: excellent, but nowhere as great as the original short story
This is one of Asimov's best ever tales, and is based upon a short story he wrote by the same name. That short story was to be one of the most famous and influential short stories of the genre for all time, actually being named as the best science ...

A short story inside a novel

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 05 '00
Pros: Added material to a short story
Cons: The short story lost much in the expansion
"Nightfall" is a novel by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg based on a short story of the same name by Isaac Asimov.

What SF fan HASN'T read the story _Nightfall_ by Isaac Asimov? The story is a clean, crisp one that recounts the...

Fear of first night potrayed brilliantly by Asimov!!

by ram_cv , Sep 19 '01
Pros: Great Story, Gripping, Tense and Thrilling
Cons: None that I could find!
Introduction I was introduced to the world of Science Fiction through a novel by the name of "I, Robot". Starting that day I became an avid fan of Isaac Asimov and to this day all his novels hold a strange kind of intrigue and hold on me. Isaac ...

Big and small, The good and the great

by DudeFace , May 11 '00
Pros: The Bads: Too much of a good thing.
Cons: The Bads: Too much of a good thing. ;-)
Before you continue, first read the epinion by kurt_h (A short story inside a novel). He hits the nail on the head. I simply disagree with him.

A good short story often shines like a bright star. Short and sweet. Expanding on short stories...

Unbelievably deep science fiction, definitely Asimov quality

by jleonardbc , Sep 15 '00
Pros: Is very deep, really well-written; Asimov quality
Cons: You have to obtain it somehow.
Nowadays Asimov is becoming a synonym to science fiction. This book shows why. The main story, Nightfall, is an unbelievably deep adventure into human psychology, history, way of thinking, lifestyle, religion- it's too unbelievable to describe. Just...
