This is a review I did on "Against the Fall of Night" by Arthur C. Clarke. My dad gave me this book because he read it and liked it a while back. I haven't been able to blog lately. Working a full-night night-shift job takes up so much time. Every minute I get not working I am either sleeping or wanting to spend as much time with my wife as possible. But I will write more about that story some time. For now, chew on this.

Against the Fall of Night by Arthur C. Clarke


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a good book. It's pretty classic. It was interesting to see the difference in this book of sci-fi from years ago when compared to the same genre in today's culture. Clarke had less of a focus on detail and description and relied more on leaving things to mystery. It was a nice change from the heavy explanations that seem so common today, although I do enjoy the way books are written. Less time was spent on character building than I am used to also, although I still was able to easily assign a personality to each character. Anyway, I ramble. Overall, good book. I would recommend it. It's quick at only 159 pages, and an enjoyable read.
