Official Review: Logic's End by Keith A. Robinson

[Alwaystkd]

My favorite books are those that allow me to feel a connection with the characters. I don’t think this book would be for me because of that reason. I think three star review is honest and what I would have given this book as well. Thank you for a well written review.

Your synopsis of this book made it sound right up my alley. But I get enormously frustrated when an author takes a good concept and smooshes it with their own agenda. It's especially a pity because, as you say, this book was grammatically flawless. Either way, it seems like there were other strong points to make the story a good one
Thanks for your review, I really enjoyed it!

There's definitely a way to get your point across without pounding someone over the head with it and while still writing a good story. This author comes close, but could still use a bit more finesse. Thanks!

Hmm, I am unsure whether I would enjoy this one or not, although it is definitely a change of pace for a science fiction author to take an anti-evolution stance, so that might be unique. But I have heard a read a lot on this subject, and so it might actually make the book tedious for me. Thanks for the review though!

I understand that. If you decide to read it, let me know.

Nice insightful review. I am glad you touched on the abundance of characters and the need for a little more depth on development of those. I think the concept sounds good and compelling, so I hope the author listens to your advice. Lots of books in this genre so it has to stand out.

I DEFINITELY agree with how many books there are. Oversaturated. Still, the editing was TOP NOTCH! Thanks!

Sci-fi and creation apologetics - cool, I'm in.

Great debriefing on the book's cortex. It seems interesting like the making of the movie species. Although, many books can loose the readers throughout chase of the characters. Generally not the onset of character's support is lacking throughout the book core. One lonely ship member falls to earth without her advisories announces the folded of her role and tends to stop short of grand. Therefore, us as reader are just shy of the 4 stars. However, younger book fans might find it adventures.

The topic itself seems interesting enough. I am not sure, though, about the execution. Great review, as usual.

Thanks kislany! It's definitely an interesting topic. It's another one of those that was very hard to rate. It had it's good and bad points.

I think it's pretty obvious that the author was very much trying to make this sci-fi story a teaching tool and that it was very likely his intent to create these aliens as soulless beings without much to relate to. (I've read his other books and none of his other characters come out quite this 2-dimensional.) Therefore I can't fault him for making the aliens bestial and flatter than the usual villain. In fact, I thought he did a phenomenal job of depicting them exactly as he intended them to be and as I read the book I felt the horror of their lack of any trace of humanity. That was the whole point. I found this book gritty and feral, with a surprise ending that left me blinking at the clever sidestep. Hi-octane action like Road Warrior with Aliens! Speaking of the aliens, I for one, very much appreciated the character art in the beginning of the book. It was an excellent aid to my ability to picture these outlandish and mutated beasts. Who doesn't love some pictures? 3.5 stars at least.

Sadly, though, I felt that the author was so busy trying to make his point that he neglected these characters. I just didn't feel that attachment to them that really makes a story for me. In spite of the action packed scenes, I found myself reluctant to keep reading at times. I attribute this to my lack of interest in the well-being of the characters.

In my experience, books that set out to make a point rarely make good reading. I'm sure there are people out there who could suggest exceptions to that rule, but that' s probably a debate best conducted in a different part of the forum. A very clear and helpful review, as ever.

It definitely takes a VERY skilled writer to pull it off. Thanks for your kind words!
