"Tau Zero" by Poul Anderson - Book Review & Discussion

[@matanelgrabli6930]

Just finished a course at relativity and it is amazing how much accurate and creative the ideas are. Great reviews.

Thank you!

Is there actually time travel or moments of time travel in this book or is it really just time dilation? Would you recommend it as or call it a time travel book?

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

One of the best books I've ever read - not a time travel book though. Heavily involved in time dilation. Their ship is traveling so fast, for them inside the ship, time travels normally, but the universe outside the ship is ending at an alarming rate.

Alright is parallel worlds by michio kaku recommended for teens? Or it more on science?

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

it's definitely a science book. it can be enjoyed by teens, but isn't a "young adult/teen novel" book.

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

i have a review of that book too!

[@lololol559]

Oh ok thanks

Nice review...I just finished this too and thought I'd listen to what others thought about it. I love science fiction and am trying to read as many of the big authors and their important works as possible. I definitely enjoyed this book. The scope of it blew my mind...50 billion years! Wow! Space travel and it's effects on time fascinate me. Check out Forever War by Joe Haldeman and Gateway by Frederik Pohl if you want to read other books of the same ilk.

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

Thank you! I'll definitely look into those!

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I picked up The Forever War today and I'll be doing a review on it once I read it! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi do u have a review on i am legend?

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

I don't! Is it the novel that the movie was based off of?

[@vajidalishah3595]

Novel is totlally different to the film. You could say the film is loosley based on the book.

[@jeffreyscottreadsalot8854]

@@vajidalishah3595 I'll put it on my reading list. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@reoprod2012]

Worst review ever. I loved the book. Don’t ever review another book.

Harsh but I guess it was a bit flawed
