Information sur l'oeuvreOmnivore par Piers Anthony (1968)
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. Generally speaking, I've been happier with Anthony's earlier works than with his later ones. It's just seemed to me that he had some good, mostly original ideas early in his career, and later on he's just kept going back the well again and again and again... So I was pretty disappointed with Omnivore. The book was slow to get going even though it's very short. The characters never seemed properly developed to me. The big stunner at the end was so unsurprising to me that I had to go back and reread the whole section just to figure out what I missed. Then the correlations between our intrepid explorers and the Herb, Omni, and Carn on the fungus world seemed more than a little stretched... I thought some of the social commentary was good. I actually have personally thought that moving construction underground is the way to go, so it was nice to see that Anthony (at least at one point) held the same views. Some of his takes on overpopulation was interesting... But other than that, there wasn't much depth to the story. Read 4/2007 aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Three scientists came to the mysterious planet Nacre to discover, to explore, to record. Utterly defenseless, they trekked through the grotesque jungle of multiform mushrooms and dense spore-clouds, hoping to unlock the secret of this strange world. The stunning climax of their mission was just the beginning of a complex drama in which their survival--and return to earth-could spell the extinction of humanity.

I read this book back when I was a teen. Rereading it gave me a much better understanding and appreciation of Piers Anthony's story telling skills. I am ready to re-read the next book in this series. (
