jeeze, he kind of lost me at Damnation Game ! hahaha

i read it so long ago .. i remember liking it until i hit the end .. and it left me cold ..

i read a bunch since and i'm just not crazy about them ... interesting ideas but they get lost in the hepped up extravegance.
its like he cares more about the 'special effects' than the characters once he gets going.

i thought it was a british thing ... the weak endings ..
i remember feeling that way about John Wyndham .. with the Crysalid and the Day of the Triffids. - fantastic books that cant seem to come to a satisfying conclusion.

HG Wells - War of the Worlds ... ended in a whimper ..

maybe its the British way :)
