A review by bennought
The Centauri Device by M. John Harrison

3.0

Another odd book from Harrison, though this one has a bit more coherence, continuity, and sense to it than [b:Light|17735|Light|M. John Harrison|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312499143s/17735.jpg|295250]. It took me about 50 pages to really get into the story, but past that point I was fairly invested in the character and was curious where Harrison was going with the book. Even more so than in his more recent books, this one is in written in a style that, while prose, is fairly poetic--and chock full of philosophy and projections of historical phenomena and ideologies into the distant future. I would probably give this 3.5 stars, if that were an option.
