Andrew's Reviews > Science Fiction: The 100 Best Novels : An English-Language Selection, 1949-1984

First of all I will say that I am sure there is another set of my comments running around somewhere in Goodreads as I have owned and read this book before.

However here we go - this book was bought off the back of a similar (I cannot find reference it is a sister volume or a different project) book on the best 100 Fantasy novels. That book was an eye opener which helped me delve in to the world of fantasy novels.

So you imagine the eagerness I had to get and read this book about science fiction - ideally to see if it would open the same set doors. Well it sort of did.

You see I think I came to this book about 10 years too late - many of the books that are mentioned in this book are either already in my collection or are known to me. You see it appears I stumbled across (come on nothing is planned in my collection) these titles.

Now apparently there is a second volume out there with a second 100 titles since this book ends in the mid 80s but that too contains many titles I already own. However I will say that the entries it does contain are interesting and informative and I no doubt will be returning to this book again in the future.
