![]() ![]() ![]() In the Atlantis segment, Kinnexa was certainly not a shrinking violet but a highly competent secret agent, paramilitary type. There is some truth to this, but not as much as you might think. ![]() Others have complained that the women in Smith's stories wait about to be rescued, like the typical shrinking violets of 19th century literature. The Triplanetary part moves rapidly, and even though I knew what was coming, I was impatient for the next unfolding of the story. The semiautobiographical part of the third part is absolutely fascinating. I found it hard to stop listening when I had to. I have to disagree with those who feel the first three parts of this book should be skipped. As an audio book, Smith's stilted writing, especially about the emotions of the characters is not as bad. I re-read it about 10 years ago an found difficulty with the writing. This book is much better as an audio book. I haunted the Brooklyn Public Library until I read the entire series. I first read this book in High School many years ago. ![]()
