Cluster
7 journalers for this copy...
Cluster is the first book in a 5-book sci fi series from Piers Anthony. It is highly recommended for entertainment. Follow the adventures of Flint, a cave-man in a futuristic universe. The alien species created by Mr. Anthony are very interesting both culturally and anatomically. The commentary on inter-species prejudice is a valuable reflection upon modern society. This is a short book, about 300 pages.

RELEASE NOTES:
Arrived safely in Texas today! I'm currently reading another Anthony, Isle of Woman, (which is excellent) then this is next.
Good start to a series. At first I found the story a bit disjointed; I wondered how he had gotten from one place to another. All the threads came togehter in the end, of course, and wrapped up nicely if not how I would have expected. In comparison to other Anthony works: Not as light and silly as the Xanth novels and not as serious/dense as Isle of Woman which I just read. A nice balance with intriguing aliens and technology and some mystery and romance mixed in. Thanks for sharing this one!

Received in the mail yesterday. I should be able to start it tonight or tomorrow. Look forward to starting this series
Piers Anthony's skill is in coming up with variations on a theme where every variation is interesting (quests in Xanth & obstacles for the Wizard's Castle; Incarnations of Immortality; The variations in the spieces in this book). Piers Anthony's shortcoming is that he has too many ideas and tries to force them to fit (Puns in Xanth; overlong Adept series; Astronomy & time regression & mythology in this book; The idea of a species that literally 'makes beautiful music together').
I enjoy his books, but this wasn't one of the better ones. I own Chaining the Lady, the second novel in this series, and will likely read it [If any of you would like it when I finish, feel free to PM me]. If it isn't much better than this one though, I'll likely not search out the last three.
I'll be sending this book on to Portugal sometime this weekend.

Journal Entry 16 by WhisperedDreams at Washington, District of Columbia USA on Thursday, September 1, 2011
When I saw a table of free books in the lobby of my hotel in DC I couldn't resist nabbing a few, avid reader that I am. Then when I finally got around to reading some of them I discovered this site - it's a dream come true, and I can't believe my luck that I happened to be staying in DC during the 2011 Convention!
I've read a few other Piers Anthony books, so when I saw that this was the first in another series of his I decided to give it a try. Hopefully I'll be able to read it within the next few weeks, and I'll add another journal entry when I do.
