Doc Kinne reviewed Doctor Mirabilis by James Blish (After Such Knowledge)
Review of 'Doctor Mirabilis' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The book wasn't as good as I hoped. It seemed slow in the beginning, picked up a bit toward the middle, & then moved down toward the end, where in the last pages it attained what I'd been looking for all book.
For someone interested in Bacon, I think the book is good. For someone unfamiliar with him, perhaps this book isn't the greatest introduction. Still, it was good enough that I kept at it til the end.
