Book Review of The Carpet Makers

The Carpet Makers
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


I was very impressed, shall I say even stunned, by this book. So much sci-fi these days is formulaic that I am almost surprised to find a story that is truly unique. "The Carpet Makers" is such a book. It starts with the tale of just one family and keeps expanding outward, until the big picture on a galactic scale finally unfolds. And no, it was not predictible. You also cannot tell that it was translated from the original German. Highly recommended.
