Title: Days of Bitter Strength by David Wingrove ISBN: 0-440-50794-4 Publisher: DTP Pub. Date: 07 July, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $27.00 |

Summary: Magnificent acceleration towards climax of series
Comment: Wingrove brings us one step closer to the final chapter of Chung Kuo with Book 7. The pace quickens dramatically with this volume, and the true nature of the opposing forces in the universe becomes clearer. I was impressed by the significant development we see in central characters, and the final collapse of the civilization we met in Book 1. At the center of it all, Kim Ward and Ben Shepard continue to be fascinating and clearly opposing characters. Their development over the past six books -- never having met -- and the positions they represent come to an interesting point in this novel.
Days of Bitter Strength delivers the promise of this series at its best.
I have also just finished Book 8 in the series (in an imported hardcover edition) and believe fans will not be disappointed with the climax of this brilliant series.
Rating: 3
Summary: Good... but not great
Comment: I liked the way this book was done. Once again the Chung Kuo series manages to capture my attention. However, i feel that David Wingrove lost something in writting this, and the end of the last book. Some aspect of realism or such was lost.
Rating: 2
Summary: Books I-V excellent, then this
Comment: While Wingrove has always been kinda mediocre in his writing, his imaginations and characters made the first 6 books good.
And I felt he should have STOPPED. There was a fairly satisfying ending at that point. Stop. Stop
Book VII is so irritating that I've tried to read it 3 times, and failed. Consider that I commonly read 1000s of pages of fantasy/sci-fi a year, and the number of unfinished series [because of apathy] over the last 30 years is countable on one hand.
Stop with Boook VI. You do NOT need any thing else
