Recensione:

Praise for the work of Connie Willis:

To Say Nothing of the Dog, winner of the Hugo Award:

"The most hilarious book of its kind since John Irving's The Water-Method Man and A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole...Willis' sure-handed plotting, unforgettable characters, and top-notch writing should garner quite a few award nominations."
--Des Moines Sunday Register

"Few writers can match Willis' blend of comedy and science fiction. To Say Nothing of the Dog finds her in her top form."
--San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle

Doomsday Book, winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards:

"A tour de force."
--The New York Times Book Review

"Splendid work--brutal, gripping, and genuinely harrowing, the product of diligent research, fine writing, and well-honed instincts, that should appeal far beyond the usual science-fiction constituency."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Lincoln's Dreams:

"A love story on more than one level, and Ms. Willis does justice to them all. It was only toward the end of the book that I realized how much tension had been generated, how engrossed I was in the characters, how much I cared about their fates."
--The New York Times Book Review

Bellwether:

"A sheer pleasure to read...sprightly, intelligent fun."
--Publishers Weekly

Remake:

"Another brilliant work by an author deserving of all the praise and awards heaped on her."
--Des Moines Sunday Register

Fire Watch:

"[Willis's] writing is fresh, subtle, and deeply moving."
--The New York Times Book Review
