Reviews / Votes
As strange, vivid and intricate as the alien biosphere at its heart, Rosewater is a fabulous book and Tade Thompson is a writer of enormous heart and talent. Just brilliant A fiercely weird, breathtaking biopunk tale of alien invasion, Rosewater is ambitious and smart and very, very cool Mesmerising. There are echoes of Neuromancer and Arrival in here, but this astonishing debut is beholden to no-one Smart. Gripping. Fabulous! Rosewater asks you uncomfortable questions about what is right, what is wrong, what you'll tolerate, and what is human A magnificent tour de force, skilfully written and full of original and disturbing ideas You've never been anywhere like Rosewater. And you've never seen an alien invasion like this. Tade Thompson will take you someplace incredible, full of unforgettable characters and deep insight. Rosewater cements his place as one of our boldest and most exciting new writers In addition to providing a gritty and intricately plotted science fiction mystery, Thompson's opening of the Wormwood Trilogy considers what it means to be human Hugely satisfying . . . a darkly beautiful gem Hard-edged and utterly compelling Breathtakingly smart prose Mind-expanding and utterly addictive -- Mark Haddon, author of THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIMEMore details
