Different Taste of Books

I'm curious as to what fans out there consider the most annoying criticisms or critics of fantasy books. Why? If you deal with fans of anything, there's a lot of passion and opinion, but how often do you try to have a serious discussion with supposed 'fans' of something, only to find out that most of their opinion has nothing to do with liking the subject and more to do with being critical of it? I have had discussions where I wondered why they bothered reading anything, since it didn't seem to be anything they enjoyed. I'm left shaking my head, wondering where it all went wrong for them. As you can tell, my pet peeve are people who have standards or expectations that exceed the point where anything beyond a fraction of available content is likely to please them. Then I read one of the three books (out of thousands) they liked, and it's nothing special. If anything, it lowered my enjoyment of it because of all the connotations. I can enjoy a flawed work for what it is. Maybe I am just missing the snob gene or something.

Alien Embassy Book view

I just finished reading "The Alien Embassy" by Ian Watson and I am curious to see what other people think of it. I don't remember why I picked it up - probably found a favorable review somewhere - but when I started reading it, the first thing that captivated me was the rich, poetic language, somewhat reminiscent of Samuel R. Delany. The story itself is also quite inventive - using tantra techniques for starlight? I especially like how the author used the themes of ancient mystiques (especially the Tibetan Book of the Dead) and spirituality to present the theme of human evolution and star flight in a setting I had not yet encountered in sci-fi writing. Add to that a very evocative writing style and you get some very vivid imagery. The only thing I didn't like was the ending - it just doesn't feel right to me. It is a good and indeed realistic conclusion to the story, but that's exactly what I don't like about it - it's too down-to-earth. But it does leave open the possibility for a sequel. Is there actually one?

I don't know what you mean "right and wrong". Science is the most general and effective means known to discover the way the world is. Technology (e.g. making antibiotics to cure diseases) is something else - it is there that the value judgments come in, because the same scientific finding (e.g. that compound X kills’ microorganism Y) supports at least two technologies. Either: kill Y by exposing them to X, or: keep Y alive by preventing them from being exposed to X. This is why science is morally neutral.
