The SF Site Featured Review: Finity (926 words) |
 | Barnes breaks the rules by radically changing the world he has built up and the characters and events he has shown the reader. |
 | However, Barnes does not successfully marry the high tech and theoretical sciences with the unpretentious story line, nor are his explanations particularly lucid. |
 | Barnes is too intent to throw everything into his mixture without worrying whether the flavours will compliment each other. |

 | Barnes has just spent an enjoyable few minutes visiting the cult Web site named "Gaudeamus"a fact that will prove to be surprisingly relevant to what follows. |
 | Barnes exhibits a sure hand at bopping back and forth between his frametale and the flashbacks that constitute Travis' monologues. |
 | Barnes has genuine points to make about the present self-destructive course humanity is onand reasons why we could be cautiously optimistic about our future. |
