| arthur-c-clarke/the-songs-of-distant-earth | reviews | A future human settlement gets visited by the last travellers from the doomed planet earth, on their way to their final destination, a new earth. Very calm, slow, slightly utopian. I'm not really sure what to make of this book. On the one hand, it was utterly lovely: The calm, nearly slice-of-life story of the surviving members of the human race. Touching, simple, optimistic, … sweet? At the same time, the lack of tension made me take a long time reading this book, and the parts that were interesting to me (the other planet! the ALIEN LIFE!) were only mentioned in passing. Weirdly frustrating for such a nice and optimistic book. | 2020-01-24 | The Songs of Distant Earth | #59729b | 0007115865 | 9780007115860 | 1986 | http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/isbn/9780007115860-L.jpg | 256 | 3 |
