Aún tengo Solaris en mi pila de pendientes, volveré a tomarme un tiempo prudencial para intentarlo.

A solid 2.5 but the stars were not there. It is not my usual genre but thought I what the hay...alas this book let me down. I will not toss in my tie dye towel just yet. As there are many more books to read and authors of this genre to explore.

Wish me luck!

About half of this left me cold, but the half they didn’t was so good that I pondered giving the book 5 stars on the strength of that alone. The Mask especially is incredibly original and poignant.

Some of the best, most original SF I've ever read. Utterly unlike Solaris or his comedy pieces. The final story is a clear masterpiece.

Konstrukcija samih priča i predstavljanje likova strašno me podsjećalo na razne narodne bajke koje sam jako voljela čitati kao mala i do sada mi je taj stil pisanja bio totalno nespojiv s pojmom znanstvene fantastike. Motivi i motivacije likova čine se tako poznatima ali mi elementi znanstvene fantastike drže pažnju u konstantno budnom stanju!
S obzirom na sve veći broj motiva vezanih za fiziku i kemiju sve mi se više sviđa ideja da ovu knjigu poklonim nekome! Nazivi silnih likova robota stvaraju dojam čitanja bajki za djecu i uveseljavaju me. Posebno mi je bila simpatična kompozicija o istinama i bajkama. Dosta bajki imalo je izričaj "priča koje opominju" što mi ima smisla s obzirom na biografiju samoga pisca.
Neprestano sam pokušavala isčitati između redova i proniknuti u mudrosti likova i njihovih odabira.
Neke priče imale su naznake horora s upečatljivim krajevima koji tjeraju na razmišljanje.
