Relation Conducive To Books Blue Light

i was completely and totally enthralled by this book. it was so unlike walter mosely's usual work. i mean male octavia butler watered down like a pink tom collins that's been sitting on the bar for a few songs. the interplay between science and religion made me so happy. i really enjoyed that. some of the characters not so wonderful. the ending-that was straight bullshit. i loved it. totally plot twist. should have seen that coming, but i was caught up in the trees, and the bears, and the blood that it eased right past me. fun times. i love it.

Assessment Epithetical Books Blue Light

This is an unusual attempt at Science Fiction by a crime writer. It actually reads more like Fantasy, and while it is well-written, it feels like the author is out of his element. It is too predictable and not very insightful compared to Mosley's normal work.

I'm not entirely sure what I just read. sort of like a bad Acid trip with some good weed. wasn't entirely my cup of tea but I could definitely see how some people would enjoy it

Mosley is best known for his mystery novels, but he's also written some sci-fi. I read and enjoyed a collection of sci-fi short stories he wrote, "Futureland," so I was pretty sure I'd like this one. "Like" is actually too mild. This book blew me away with its weirdness and inventiveness. I found the ending to be sad and mildly disappointing, but it was a fast-paced and wild ride up until then. It's not that I thought the ending was badly written, just not where I was hoping it would go. Still,

Blue Light started off with a nice PKD edge, which fell apart for me about half-way through. Maybe there wasnt enough in Mosley to sustain a long narrative. I understand that SciFi isnt his genre, and that I shouldnt be too hard on him. Hes an interesting writer, and maybe Ill try one of his mysteries.

Mosley's weird foray into scifi. Not horrible, just not Octavia Butler, whom I think he may have been trying to emulate.

This is Hippie-culture wish fulfillment ("We're all cosmically connected, Man!" "We can totally live, like, as part of nature, Man!"), that morphs into into a psycho-killer drama, then ends with sci-fi-hippie-eco-superheroes going up against the bad guy. As the basis for the entire story, I found the hippie culture stuff pretty lame - blue light showers the earth, "enlightening" a select few who just happen to be paying attention at the right time (or in the right way?) Not really clear to why

It took me 3 months to read this book. That says far more about me and this year than it does about the book, as my reading was an hour or so, a three month hiatus from reading anything more complex than the back of a cereal box for fun-reading, and then a few hours to finish reading this. I missed books. I'm radically far behind in my reading for the year, but, there's time left.I liked this. It was just enough weird, and just enough super-hero'y for me to feel like I knew where it was going
