What Members Thought
A tale of humanity doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Disturbingly poignant and still entirely relevant. Highly recommended.
If you are looking for a book with strong female characters this is not your book as there are barely female characters at all, strong or other wise. I direct you to page 246 out of 334, when we have our first female character: "Lady Reporter" in all her glory!

A bit dated now (1959 date of plublication), but still overall well-written. This is clearly an argument against nucler proliferation and nukes in general, written post-WWII and at the height of when the world thought we would actually use them. That is the dated part of the novel. The jumps forward in time, the sense of great swaths of time passing by in a blink, is an enjoyable if not unique concept.
This book...I hate it. It had a good part one, then after that it land-slided. My biggest beef is that it has so much latin, and I don't know any latin. It does nothing to translate any of it. I wish I would have known it had so much latin before I bothered to read it. Also, the end...it makes no sense!
