The Science Fiction message board is thrilled to kick off our first Group Book Read of 2007 with a novel that was voted one of Amazon's Best for the year it was published 2001 (a significant year for hard SF fans at that!), Alistair Reynolds' first novel Revelation Space. A look at some reviews of this breakthrough work online turn up very mixed opinions from those that love it and those that hate it to many people somewhere in the middle. What better sort of title to generate some heated discussion during the dog days of Winter? Please join us this February at Science Fiction to read and thoroughly dissect this book!

I, for one, really enjoyed it. Very dense writing, but very good.

Cool, once we get going, feel free to drop over and make a comment or two. I expect I'll be in the pro camp, since the Amazon readers who are dissing it seem to be from a different perspective - i.e. one where the dense writing you mention wouldn't fly.
