On its own terms, I ...Yes, that's the hated cover. On its own terms, I don't dislike it; the artist is a multiple Hugo winner, which speaks for itself. But I didn't feel it was appropriate for the book and its intended audience.<BR/><BR/>As for Kestrel and the hangover -- I think most of us have been in similar situations at some point in our lives, hopefully not too recently! Perhaps that accounts for the deja vu the deja vu.<BR/><BR/>I haven't read <I>Accelerando</I> but <I>Spin</I> is excellent; I reviewed it a while back for scifiweekly.com.Paul Witcoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471607385211158481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771986852817302610.post-72409437031905177542007-03-16T15:13:00.000-06:002007-03-16T15:13:00.000-06:00My guess would be the baleful glow of Huitzil eyes...My guess would be the baleful glow of Huitzil eyes by the light of a spritz of coldfire.<BR/><BR/>Hey, I arrived home after work to find the Amazon delivery containing Tumbling After (and Spin and Accelerando). Unfortunately I had a meeting most of the night but I got at least 50 pages into it and I'm a-lovin' it. Favorite line so far is the one comparing seagulls to shuriken. I have a question though: I'm absolutely positive I've never read this book, but the part with Kestrel and the hangover is giving me acute deja vu. Is it my imagination? (Wouldn't be the first time ....) Also, is this the cover you didn't like (the one with the blue feathered being and bald lady in the seawrack)? I don't mind it at all.Erika Hamerquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721599229029331587noreply@blogger.com
