Urth of The New Sun

"I don't know if I'd say "required" but it is he only way to make sense of what went on in the first four books. Well, as much sense as anything ever makes. (Urth of the New SUn)" I am finding Urth harder than BOTN. Its writing style is perhaps easier to follow but it moves more into the metaphysics of the "Sun" universe, and as a person who is not so good at understanding such thingsit can be difficult. I would say this book is probably vital if your into understanding what happened in New Sun, though it is certainly a coda and BOTN is perfectly apt by itself. Whats the general consensus on Urth. Did those who have read it enjoy it? _________________________________________________________________ Discover and Win with Live Search http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000007ukm/direct/01/

I enjoyed Urth. However, my strategy for Wolfe is generally "read and enjoy the first round and leave the analysis till later readings." If I tried to analyze during the first round I would get all tangled up. rob t.

I liked it pretty much. It complements the BOTNS perfectly. The writting style and pace is somewhat different, I can see some people not liking it as much as BOTNS, but I did like it quite much.

Did those who have read it enjoy it? I certainly enjoyed Urth. And no, not so much as the first four books. and yes I did enjoy the first four more than the Long Sun or Short Sun books and about equally to the first two Latro books.

I really enjoyed Urth -- Tzadkiel's ship, the 'evolution' from Zak, etc. I don't claim perfect comprehension, but a wonder should perhaps retain some sense of wonder, no?
