Book Review: Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
A Science Fiction thriller about not spinning, spinning and having spun. I really cannot give a synopsis because parts of the book will be ruined.
Very good book. The characters are very well developed and all unique and likable. The plot is also very interesting, there are many questions that the reader desperately wants to hear that eventually trickle in. The book keeps you guessing until the end.
My biggest criticism is this: time jumps around every chapter, and at the end of most of these chapters in a moment when it is like “oh snap” and you don’t get to find out what happens until you get through a whole chapter. Some might say that is just good suspense writing, I think it gets tiresome.
In conclusion, spin was a pleasure to read. I like science fiction and this book was right up my alley, as they say.
9.3/10
Next up: Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco
