Nancy Jewel Biography

Thanks to an unknown translator, the translation posted the book, of course, is not very good, but as they say, we’ll go around and put the potatoes 8 since the cycle “held me and did not let me go”. The cunning Hugh did not discover the truth to the very end, fooling his head with some deviations from the plot, he powered the brains, can humanity can degrade so quickly?

!! The Heinlinsky Ark involuntarily recalled, “The Strails of the Universe”, where people forgot the history of mankind, the goal and meaning of flight, but still there was a hero who read and collected books. And here it was not. The unfortunate Iran will be accused of all sins again, since it was he who created nanobots or rather - this is another Powell test. Remove everyone, leave the best who is “calculated” using computers.

Meanwhile, people, meanwhile, live in a hopper in a hundred floors underground, over the years, forgetting the past, not hoping for the future. Everything suits everyone. And when the one who says: “Oh, something is not right in our lives, we should not live like this,”-as a leading bunker, where those who created this hell are sleeping, immediately destroy the dissenters a lot of questions in the reading process: where is the water, if everything is infected with nanobots, why the energy does not dry out, they are able to wear out the truths in which they are not trying to look for the truth, wherever they are trying to look for the truth.

Rinse, sorry, guano, dirty water with a bath and a soul well, etc. The main character Juliet is one of those who ask questions. And through death, struggle and suffering, she will lead the remnants of her ark into the world on the surface. It reads easy. Although, of course, it is too long. Too many in my opinion, unnecessary descriptions of the activity.

Too many actors on behalf of which are the narrative. Each action is signed: how he discovered canned food, where kakal, how she twisted nuts, how he caught fish, disassembled a rifle and so on, it seems the author simply wanted to increase the volume of the book. The third book suffers from the same “diseases” as all similar cycles. The first two left the "Vlet", and in the third I wanted to look at the end.

Although, of course, Happy and was predetermined, even if the heroes and stupidly made mistakes, especially Donald Kini, the builder and architect of these structures. I never loved the Apocalyptic. But recently, this is just some kind of motive beloved by the authors-everyone wants to force humanity, they want to destroy it. And so many ways they came up with - horror!

Now a new trend - nanobots Assessment: 8 Hugh Haui "Through the Sands" Celeste, September 15 The plot is the most banal: a clash of two fractions, each of which is sure that they are on the right side. But such books are read not for the sake of the plot, but for the sake of original settings. And if you picked up the book precisely for the sake of working out the world, then there will be no study.

The world order is so raw and ill -conceived that it literally crumbles like the same sand. The author was too lazy to come up with at least something, so the mysterious residents of the city, in which something was constantly exploding, turned out to be just miners. We are demonstrated by their life, which is absolutely no different from the present, and this ends the new information about the world.

For this, tens of thousands of years should have passed, if not hundreds. However, in the ruins they find not decayed clothes. The author really wanted to create his “dune”, it is directly read between the lines, but it looks like miserable attempts. To create a settings similar to Dune, you need to turn on your world at least a little, to work out your world and periodically ask the question of how the garbage that you came up with.

Science in this book finally rolls into some magic. A twelve -year -old child from shit and sticks collects an incredible device, with the help of which the power of thought is able to control the megatons of sand - well, yes, yes, I believe. As in the fact that in a hundred years and judging by what was happening in the book, the Apocalypse happened no earlier than America brought the sand from nowhere.

Yes, even if the author prescribed an alien dump truck that flew and dumped his alien sand to the ground, buried a whole continent under it, this would look more reliable. It is interesting that eight years have passed between the “sand” and “through the sands”, and during this period the author could not come up with at least something interesting. And-yes, someone, tell the author what radiation is and how it works, otherwise he also began the magic.

I forgive the dying logic and generating plot idiocy author’s stupidity, when the book is interesting. However, reading “through the sands” was incredibly boring. If the first part I swallowed somewhere in a day or two, then the second tormented for two weeks. The characters, already not very interesting, were completely lost, the new ones did not impress the Ani line-this is some kind of unbearable tragomotin.

One of the characters was completely randomly squeezed LGBT-line, not in place blurted out that he once loved the king, and after a couple of pages and the author’s inability to say goodbye to the main characters. Click the spoiler opening the plot to see all the main characters to see, and whoever did not survive will resurrect.Half of the plot guns will not shoot, they will safely forget about them or leave on the next part.

I will not read the continuation, which the author will probably set up in five years. I have nothing to offer this cycle. Five grains out of ten. Assessment: 5 Hugh Haui "Sand" Celeste, September 1, intuitive thought and has completely formed only after reading the last pages. And this is the similarity: Stephen King is a wonderful inventor gifted by a giant boiler of imagination, but completely unable to write.

Roughly speaking, a graphomaniac with fantasy, the texts of which are often on the verge of vulgarity. And Hugh Haui also turned out to be a dreamer who could come up with interesting ideas, but incapable of realizing them competently, and at the same time loving to plunge some obscenity like a joke about the bastard of a twelve-year-old girl with her own brother. The idea of ​​"sand" is really bright.

The reader opens the world of a post -apocalyptic future, so far that all cities of our days are buried under the thickness of the sand. Society is built on the activities of divers - people trained to immerse themselves in sand for extraction of objects of the past. For immersion, special costumes controlled by the power of thought are used. But the realization of all this is, first of all, is not science fiction.

You will not find competent, sensible descriptions of everything that is happening in the “sand”. The author himself does not understand how the costumes invented by him should function, unlike the same Frank Herbert, who carefully thought out his disticubes. No one expects physical and mathematical formulas from a science fiction writer, but at least some study should be.

Otherwise, this is some kind of fantasy. The author also does not understand how the world invented. The descriptions are mean and fresh. From the book do not recognize the details of the life of a society living in the sands. Do not find out the details about the disaster that befell the earth. Do not find out about people living somewhere there, far, in the best conditions. If you think for at least a minute, the entire setting will begin to crumble.

But the author came up with a million words describing different states of sand. This is more interesting than to work out the world around. The minuses include characters. I liked the fact that the book is concentrated on the stories of one family and shows events from the points of view of its members, but I did not like the fact that the characters are quite flat. The most vivid mother of the family turned out to be the most, but her chapters were very few.

The guys are absolutely the same, no different from each other. The daughter stands out only due to the fact that she is the only girl and, by virtue of her gender, survived some tin. The language is a good translation, as always, in some places clumsy. It is quite dry, but if all this graphomania drowned in watery descriptions, it would be an absolute nightmare.

I put on the fact that soon we will see the film adaptation of “sand”, because the text is very cinematic. This completely kills the depth of the story and deprives the characters of at least some volume, but at the same time creates a picture in my head. As if you are reading a script for a film or a series. It reads fascinatingly and quickly, for this I will put seven out of ten grains.

The spirit of adventure is felt, it is interesting to read about finds from the past. I think such books easily obey in audio format, because even if you distract and miss a couple of paragraphs, you will not lose anything. It is definitely worth reading if you like interesting concepts on the topic of post -apocalypse, but with the logic turned off and remembering that this is adventure fiction, not scientific.

However, now in the book market there are a huge number of low -grade and similar crafts on this subject, which scares away many readers. Hugh Haui represents her interpretation of the end of the world, like which I have not met before. As a result of a disaster, the whole North America and maybe the whole world was covered with a layer of sand with a thickness of several tens, or even hundreds of meters.

I note that such an atmosphere creates a rather interesting atmosphere. Throughout the reading, the feeling of ubiquitous sand and unbearable heat does not leave. The author also described the life of people living in such conditions.
