Summary: Weird and interesting
Comment: Europe gets wiped out by a mysterious replacement continent called Darwinia (to mock people who trust science over miracles) in the 1890s. Most interesting part is how Wilson manages to explain his odd beginning (which I won't give away for those who haven't read it). Superb as that part is, Wilson confronts a problem that he really doesn't do a good job of resolving. Having created an excellent, even credible (within the explanation of the story) universe, he doesn't show the same creativity in working a plot in that universe. Instead it's a not too interesting good vs evil battle as the climax.
The mystery was excellent. The rest needed help

Summary: An Enchanting Read
Comment: What seems, at first glance, like a simple adventure story in Robert Charles Wilson's "Darwinia" is actually anything but simple -- something you will learn as the book leads you deeper and deeper into a complex, rich, and hauntingly beautiful story.
"Darwinia" takes place in a world left reeling after Europe was transformed over night into a foreign and unexplored wilderness. The story follows the journey of Guildord Law who explores this new world and learns about the land and so much more.
The charecters in the book are vivid and you will come away feeling that you know each of them. It is science fiction at its best, full of surprises and powerfully written. One can't quite say enough about this book!

Summary: ....
Comment: This book started out as being good. I started reading it and I thought it was going to be about some explorers trying to survive in a strange alien world. This is what the book started out like. Then it suddenly turned into stuff about alternate lives, gods, etc, etc. Just [not good].
