A review by peter_xxx
De Wilde Vaart by Jack Vance
2.0
One of the things that are missing from goodreads is the possibility to give half star ratings. especially with this book I really miss this. This book is better than a two star book but not quite three stars.
This is the story of Myron who by taking his job serious; get's stranded on some alien planet and has to enroll on a small spaceship. The whole book is filled with peculiar characters, strange situations and wierd places. And all this with a sligh humorous undertone and a beautifull archaic language.
But the problem with this book is that there is no real story. It seems to be a collection of random scenes that Jack Vance thought up and did put together without a real connection besides the travels of a spaceship.
