## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good book; original ideas
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018*

I consider myself a newcomer to the sci-fi genre. Well, not really, but I certainly have been spoiled enough by the more established sci-fi settings coming after John Campbell's time that it seems hard to discern what is original and what is derivative (hence, being a newcomer). This book certainly has some cliche, but there are many original ideas, and it has an overall distinct feel to it. The themes seem to be repetitive in subsequent stories, but the way the author explores them are very interesting. Definitely worth a read!

    A great read!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2018*

An excellent collection of Campbell's work, includes the short story "Who goes there?" which was the basis for the The Thing form another world, and both of the later remakes titled The Thing.

    John Campbell The Writer
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2010*

John Campbell is a science fiction giant known best for his years as an editor of Astounding. He had the ability to find and develop gifted writers and it is not too much to say his work as editor brought respectability to the whole business.  His own stories are superb, but not as remembered as they should be. My personal choice as his best (and among the best in all of science fiction) is Who Goes There, later made into a movie but don't go there.  I believe it was called The Thing, featuring James Arness as a sort of giant carrot. Hollywood at its worst, which is saying a lot.  By all means visit John the writer.
